BlittableBool is not Serializable

We are accepting issues and we want your feedback.

Description

BlittableBool is not serializable. This means I cannot serialize any generated code data in a prefab for ease of configuring templates using the editor.

Expected behaviour

Doing something like

[SerializeField]
BlittableBool Foo;

Should appear in the editor and be editable.

Current behaviour

The field does not appear in the editor.

Possible solution

Adding [Serializable] attribute and making the value field public and non-readonly allows the type to be serialized.

Steps to reproduce

public class CouplingPointsSnapshot : MonoBehaviour {
        [SerializeField]
        private BlittableBool Foo;
    }

Or any type that uses BlittableBool

Environment

Generically serialize component snapshots in MonoBehaviours so I can use prefabs as entity templates.

Thanks for raising this issue! We are tracking it internally as UTY-2024

As it turns out, the Entities preview.33 upgrade in #963 means that bool is now blittable and the there is no longer a requirement for BlittableBool.

We are removing it in #965 and all code generated schema types will use the standard bool type!
