'Missing meta file' errors for readme files

[CrowbarSka]

A number of errors frequently appear in the console (e.g. every time the asset database is refreshed).

These errors relate to the readme and license files associated with this GitHub package and state that there are no meta files attached to them, although none should be expected.

The errors can be cleared and do not impact execution of the game, but are distracting and imply problems in the game code and should not appear.

Unity version: 2020.3.30f1 Meta file setting: Visible Meta Files

Errors:

Asset Packages/com.prenominal.realtimecsg/Icons.zip has no meta file, but it's in an immutable folder. The asset will be ignored.

Repro steps:

1. Create an empty project or open an existing project using the Unity version stated above.
2. Open the Package Manager window.
3. Click the "+" icon to add a package.
4. Select "Add package from git URL".
5. Paste the following URL and click Add: https://github.com/LogicalError/realtime-CSG-for-unity.git
6. Note the errors that appear in the console when the package finishes installing.
7. Note the same errors appearing often throughout regular use of the editor, sometimes if assets are reimported or the editor is restarted.

I have a fix for this in the pipe. It'll be included in #349. For now, to fix this:

1. Pull a copy of RealtimeCSG into an empty project (Assets, not as a package)
2. Let unity import
3. Copy the .meta files for the files missing, and then copy them to the plugins folder of the project you wanted RealtimeCSG to be a package

Confirmed fixed in #349 using 2019.4.31f1 and 2020.3.35f1

Great! Thanks for the fix. I'll give it a go when I'm back on my other project.
