OS Lifecycle update

Ubuntu 21.04 and Fedora 34 is now supported with the .NET 5.0.6, .NET Core 3.1.15 and .NET Core 2.1.28 update. The operating system support pages for .NET 5.0, .NET Core 3.1 and .NET Core 2.1 has been updated to reflect that.

Behavioral change in Asp.Net 2.1 Installers

Asp.Net 2.1.28 will now install side-by-side with Asp.Net 2.1.6 or earlier. It will still remove previously installed versions of Asp.Net that are 2.1.7 or newer. Users runnning the 2.1.28 Asp.Net Installer or 2.1.28 Hosting Bundle should manually uninstall any local versions of the Asp.Net runtime that are 2.1.6 or earlier.
