Feat: Embedded link.xml in assembly

[bitsandfoxes]

Instead of having to copy the link.xml into Assets/ we can embed the file into the assembly.

I'm not sure if this is the proper way to get to the assembly so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Does Unity support this? link.xml is used by Unity at compile time. It doesn't need to ship with the game, but IL2CPP needs this file when it runs to make sure it doesn't drop the types defined in it.

Yes they do! https://forum.unity.com/threads/the-current-state-of-link-xml-in-packages.995848/ <- last reply point a)
I tested it on an IL2CPP build on the phone and added the link to the captured event to the description.

@bitsandfoxes if you remove link.xml completely, does it fail to capture?
I'm unsure at this point which rules we really need.

This is a great find btw! Much nicer way to manage the link.xml

It does not even compile if the file is missing. You'd have to remove it from the csproj and then it doesn't show up on the manifest and then the test fails.
