Mike Frysinger a269b1cb9d manifest_xml: change .repo/manifest.xml to a plain file
Changing this to a file instead of using a symlink serves two purposes:
* We can insert some comments & doc links to help users learn what this
  is for, discover relevant documentation, and to discourage them from
  modifying things.
* Windows requires Administrator access to use symlinks.  With this
  last change, Windows users can get repo client checkouts with the new
  --worktree option and not need symlinks anywhere at all.  Which means
  they no longer need to be an Administrator in order to `repo sync`.
