Don't require WixBalExtension when using WixNetFxExtension

[wixbot]

When linking with the WixNetFxExtension and not the WixBalExtension, light throws the following error:

light.exe : error LGHT0182: Cannot find the table definitions for the 'WixMbaPrereqInformation' table.  This is likely due to a typing error or missing extension.  Please ensure all the necessary extensions are supplied on the command line with the -ext parameter.

The stack trace is:

In 3.x, the Bal extension used magic variables to get its prereq table populated. In 4.0, the magic variables were replaced with attributes and these Bal attributes were added to the .NET packages in the NetFxExtension, which is why the WixBalExtension is now required.

This error is currently always thrown, it should only be thrown when actually using the .NET packages.
