Class NetworkVariableSerializationTypes

This class contains initialization functions for various different types used in NetworkVariables. Generally speaking, these methods are called by a module initializer created by codegen (NetworkBehaviourILPP) and do not need to be called manually.

There are two types of initializers: Serializers and EqualityCheckers. Every type must have an EqualityChecker registered to it in order to be used in NetworkVariable; however, not all types need a Serializer. Types without a serializer registered will fall back to using the delegates in UserNetworkVariableSerialization<T>. If no such delegate has been registered, a type without a serializer will throw an exception on the first attempt to serialize or deserialize it. (Again, however, codegen handles this automatically and this registration doesn't typically need to be performed manually.)
