No documentaion for Mono framework classes

Answered

Mono doesn't ship with the standard XML documentation files for base class libraries, so Rider doesn't have the documentation to show. Mono ships with its own proprietary documentation format, and there is an outstanding issue to support this in Rider: RIDER-11155
