fix(windows)!: Fix autolinking and remove legacy projects (#521)

* Updates the module project with a newer template which will be
  detected by autolinking (RNW >= 0.63)
* Fixes react-native.config to properly identify the windows example project
* Removes the legacy C# project, which only confuses autolinking
* Updates docs around windows autolinking support

BREAKING CHANGE: Drop support for react-native-windows 0.61 and lower. Update to RNW 0.62 or higher
