Remove svcutil.exe because it's not officially supported

--

-

How to reproduce:
1. Navigate to the Unity version through file explorer "D:\Unity\[Unity version]\Data\MonoBleedingEdge\lib\mono\4.5”
2. Search for the svcutil.exe file

Expected result: svcutil.exe file doesn't exist
Actual result: svcutil.exe file exists

Reproducible with: 2021.3.28f1, 2022.3.5f1, 2023.1.4f1, 2023.2.0a23

Reproducible on: Windows 10 Pro

Note: Unity doesn't officially support this tool and after a conversation with developers it's been decided this tool should be removed so it wouldn't cause any more confusion.

  1. Resolution Note:

    svcutil.exe that is in the Unity install is a managed executable that needs to be run with the Mono version that is also part of Unity install.

    Data\MonoBleedingEdge\bin\mono.exe Data\MonoBleedingEdge\lib\mono\4.5\svcutil.exe

    Launching svcutil.exe directly will use the .Net Framework that is installed and is not comparable.
