Describe the bug
I think (?) this is a bug because this is a property on System.IO.FileSystemInfo that is not on System.IO.Abstractions.IFileSystemInfo. This property was added in .NET 6 to help working with symlinks. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.filesysteminfo.linktarget?view=net-6.0

To Reproduce

  1. Look at ApiParityTests.FileIno_.NET 6.0.snap
  2. See that "System.String LinkTarget" is marked as a missing member

or

  1. Write an app that needs to access LinkTarget

Expected behavior
I would expect IFileSystemInfo to have a LinkTarget property when this package is consumed by a .NET 6 app.

Note
I will be very happy to implement this. The only question I have is how does this project handle multitargetting? Any gotchas I need to know? Otherwise I'll add it and also add tests and such. I need this for something and want to help make it happen.

    I've got the code almost ready to go. I need some guidance on adding to the test helpers--I'll put the PR up and we can discuss.
