Add BNTL utility plugin
Allow users to easily create, diff, dump and validate type libraries Supports the following formats: - C header files (via core type parsers) - Binary files (collects exported and imported functions) - WinMD files (via `windows-metadata` crate) - Existing type library files (for easy fixups) - Apiset files (to resolve through forwarded windows dlls) Can be invoked as a regular plugin via UI commands or via CLI. Processing of type libraries inherently requires external linking, processing will automatically merge and deduplicate colliding type libraries so prefer to use inside a project or a directory and process all information (for a given platform) at once, rather than smaller invocations.
