Subject: [PATCH] Modernize Logging.vbproj to SDK style and update NLog ref

Converted Logging.vbproj to the SDK-style project format targeting .NET 8.0, replacing explicit assembly references and legacy configuration with simplified SDK properties. NLog is now referenced via a PackageReference instead of packages.config, which has been deleted. Unnecessary imports, references, and compile/include entries were removed or updated for compatibility with the new project structure. The post-build event is retained.
