Description

The Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.HelpPage dependency of Microsoft.Identity.Web.OWIN automatically adds a lot of files to an ASP.Net (Dotnet 4.8) project. This is as far as I can see not neccessary, and makes the OWIN package close to unusable for existing projects.

Reproduction steps

Setup an Asp Net 4.8 project, and install the Microsoft.Identity.Web.OWIN package. See that this automatically adds the given files above.
