Description
## Goal Description
`bevy_asset` implements a bespoke storage system for assets. This is both redundant, less powerful, and less flexible than Bevy's ECS. Assets-as-entities aims to represent assets as entities! This allows us to:
1) Remove our bespoke storage system.
2) Take advantage of ECS optimizations that are implemented.
3) Provide a more ergonomic interface for assets for users.
4) Allow users to extend asset data with their own components.
