[MonoDevelop] add-in pre build event

[Matt Ward]

The NuGet addin in MonoDevelop 5 restores NuGet packages when the solution
is opened. There is an option in Preferences that you can use to disable or
enable this. It was decided to do the restore on opening the solution
instead of pre-build since the assemblies are then made available for code
completion as soon as possible.

The ProjectService has a BuildStarted event which you could use to trigger
some pre-build logic.
