Enhancements

#1495 Expanded the use of extra.files functionality to easily support embedding or copying files to output directory based on project type. This is how it works:

Create an extra.files file next to your project file. It’s a plain text, can support comments with //, and lines like FilePattern and {FilePattern}, where a file pattern can be a single file name relative to project root, or including * and ** wildcards for any partial name and partial paths.

For web, spa, bundleonly, and html project files, a FilePattern copies over the matched files to the output directory. For other project types it does nothing.

For web, spa, bundleonly, and html project files, a {FilePattern} copies over the matched files under the correct assembly-specific output folder like outputDir/Scripts/WebSharper/AssemblyName. This ensures that import paths from F#/C# code will work if they are relative paths from the project directory to the file location, as the relative path is preserved.

For other project types, a {FilePattern} embeds the files in the assembly, with the relative path preserved in the embed key, and it will be unpacked with the same relative path in a web project. This ensures the same guarantee for libraries/WIG projects, that resources at relative paths will continue to work when they are utilized.

The WebSharper.WebResource attribute is now obsoleted, but still works. Recommended approach is to remove these assembly-level attributes, as well as removing the files as EmbeddedResource from the projects (for F#, you can keep them as None for VS solution tree visibility), and use extra.files instead.

Fixes

#1496 Removed use of Function() from Runtime.js which could fail…
