Base VM type mismatch in ViewLocator

[stevemonaco]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When doing ViewLocator lookups, if you happen to derive a VM from the MVVM Framework's base type instead of ViewModelBase, ViewLocator.Match will fail causing ViewLocator.Build to never happen. It's not the most straightforward thing to debug from personal experience.

Describe the solution you'd like

Remove ViewModelBase from the project templates, but first check if people are actually commonly extending this with properties/methods instead of leaving it empty. If it's empty, then there's no added benefit over deriving directly from the MVVM framework's base type as you're tightly coupled to this.RaiseAndSetIfChanged, etc anyways.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Change ViewLocator.Match to match against the Mvvm Framework's base INPC type instead of ViewModelBase
