(.NET Core C#) Create AuthNRequest with embedded signature (HTTP-POST binding)

Demonstrates how to create a SAML AuthNRequest with embedded signature (HTTP-POST binding).

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// This example will sign the following SAML AuthNRequest:

// <samlp:AuthnRequest 
//      xmlns:samlp="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol"
//      xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion"
//      ID="pfx41d8ef22-e612-8c50-9960-1b16f15741b3"
//      Version="2.0" ProviderName="SP test" IssueInstant="2014-07-16T23:52:45Z"
//      Destination="http://idp.example.com/SSOService.php"
//      ProtocolBinding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST"
//      AssertionConsumerServiceURL="http://sp.example.com/demo1/index.php?acs">
//   <saml:Issuer>http://sp.example.com/demo1/metadata.php</saml:Issuer>
//   <samlp:NameIDPolicy Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress" AllowCreate="true"/>
//   <samlp:RequestedAuthnContext Comparison="exact">
//     <saml:AuthnContextClassRef>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:PasswordProtectedTransport</saml:AuthnContextClassRef>
//   </samlp:RequestedAuthnContext>
// </samlp:AuthnRequest>

// First we build the XML to be signed.
// 
// Use this online tool to generate the code from sample XML: 
// Generate Code to Create XML
