/// \class ArPackageResolver
/// 
/// Interface for resolving assets within package assets. A package resolver
/// is responsible for processing particular package asset formats and
/// resolving information about assets stored within that package.
///
/// Each package resolver is associated with particular file formats and is 
/// invoked by asset resolution when handling package-relative paths involving 
/// those formats. ArPackageResolver instances are only used internally by Ar
/// and are not directly exposed to clients.
///
/// \section ar_implementing_package_resolver Implementing a Package Resolver
///
/// To implement a package resolver, users must create a plugin containing a
/// subclass of ArPackageResolver and register it with the plugin system
/// so that it can be discovered and instantiated at runtime.
///
/// - Implement an ArPackageResolver subclass
/// \code{.cpp}
/// class CustomPackageResolver : public ArPackageResolver {
///    // ...
/// }
/// \endcode
///
/// - In its implementation, register the ArPackageResolver subclass using
///   #AR_DEFINE_PACKAGE_RESOLVER
/// \code{.cpp}
/// # custom resolver's .cpp file
/// AR_DEFINE_PACKAGE_RESOLVER(CustomPackageResolver, ArPackageResolver);
/// \endcode
///
/// - Declare the ArPackageResolver subclass in the plugin's plugInfo.json file.
///   Note that the entry for the subclass must declare the file format it
///   handles in the 'extensions' metadata.
/// \code{.json}
/// # plugInfo.json
