New Features

• Add Addressable Prefab Preview stages for all Unity Versions.
  This feature allows you to inspect Prefab objects in a SceneView style
  environment. Allowing you to look at the Transform Hierarchy of prefabs, and
  inspect their configuration. In Unity 2018 this is a custom
  SceneView, while newer Unity versions make use of the PreviewSceneStage

  developers to utilize SpaceDock to download mod packages from for supporting
  their projects, however discovering and resolving dependencies is currently
  not supported

• Add Loading indicators to loading PackageSources in the Package Manager
• Add Log Cache details and cache clear button to ThunderKitSettings
• Add Markdown Image Cache details and cache clear button to ThunderKitSettings
• Add Disable Assembly Updater ImportExtension to encourage disabling it

7.0.0

Big thanks to @Nebby1999 for this building the majority of this update

Possible Breaking Change

• Fix ScriptingSymbolManager using - instead of _ for spaces in symbols due
  to - not being supported by Visual Studio or .NET in defined symbols.

  This is only a breaking change if your project has used Define Constraints
  in Assembly Definitions, otherwise this should have no impact.

Improvements

• Added PackageSource.InstallPackages for ImportExtensions that need to install
  multiple packages. This allows for a significant improvement in install time
  for these types of extensions.
  Improvements to the ThunderKit Package Manager related to this have not been
  made but are planned.

• Add Post import prompt requesting the user restarts unity. A restart avoids a
  class of erronous experiences where the Unity environment has not loaded
  entirely after an import.

• Add a Beep when the importing process has completed (Default ON)

• Add a toggle to disable post import beep in ThunderKit Settings.

Fixes

• Fix ImportConfiguration not updating correctly when new ImportExtensions are
  loaded into the environment.
