Similar to #637, and as discussed on Discord here.

I noticed that the Silk.NET.Maths package (and perhaps others) include a couple of NuGet package dependencies for the net5.0 TFM. It seems like these packages are not necessary at all (and may not be for other TFMs, as well).

Many people/teams will make decisions about whether to use a package based explicitly on the package's dependencies, especially in the era of increasing package management supply chain attacks. If possible, it would be nice to see these two unneeded dependencies removed so Silk.NET.Maths is effectively standalone. That will give me piece-of-mind at a package security level. Although I am only using Silk.NET.Maths myself, it seems that if a change is made it should be made to all the other packages, as well.
