Refactor conditional compilation directives for improved readability and more stable/consistent consumption

- Updated conditional compilation directives in various project files to remove parentheses for consistency and clarity.
- Adjusted project references and package references in .csproj files to align with new directive style.
- Modified appsettings and documentation files to reflect the updated directive format.
- Ensured all relevant files across the CoreEx, Relay, and Subscriber projects are updated accordingly.
