Restore client side libraries does not add the folder to the project

[bhsubra]

Minimal repro steps

1. Copy paste the below contents in libman.json file and save:
   {
   "version": "1.0",
   "defaultProvider": "cdnjs",
   "libraries": [
   {
   "provider": "cdnjs",
   "library": "1140@2.0",
   "destination": "bin/"
   }
   ]
   }

2. This invokes restore operation, but the folder-bin is not included in the project

Expected result

Newly added folder/files should be included in the project

Actual result

Newly added folder/files should are not included in the project

Note: I see the same behavior when add client side libraries is invoked from UI. Looks like if folder is outside wwwroot, files don't get included in the project

Is this specific to .NET Core projects? WAP/WSP/Core are all separate project systems and have different file/directory inclusion behaviors.

I'm seeing this problem with the error <The "solid-file-client@0.4.6" library could not be resolved by the "unpkg" provider>

This is despite Fiddler showing libman receiving package meta data, and intellisense displaying all the correct versions available.

But, if I use provider jsdelivr using the libman cli it correctly installs the package, except for when the service is unavailable, which seems to happen quite a lot.

Unfortunately, the Visual Studio LibraryManager doesn't know about jsdelivr, so I have to use the cli only for that provider.

I have a Fiddler archive of the requests to unpkg if it is helpful.

Working command:
libman install solid-file-client -p jsdelivr --verbosity detailed -d content --files dist/browser/solid-file-client.bundle.min.js

Failing command:
libman install solid-file-client -p unpkg --verbosity detailed -d content --files dist/browser/solid-file-client.bundle.min.js
