Reduce/remove the use of anyhow

#8140

I think it's only used for asset loading, I'm guessing there's something it was used to work around or it might just have been easier to get going. Since we don't return these errors to the user it's possible its an okay choice for that use case. If possible it would be nice for users to be able to access the Error returned when an asset fails to load. Adding an error field to the Failed variant of LoadState would make a lot of sense from an API perspective, but I'm not sure that's feasible since custom assetloaders would need to provide their own error types. Might be able to use boxed traits etc. Example use case of this is for the Bevy editor, being able handle certain asset errors would allow things like clicking on the error message in the Bevy editor and opening up your preferred IDE at the line the error happened on for that asset (for human readable formats). I've been trying to avoid thinking about this too much until @cart reveals his new asset rework though as he may have already solved this. |

I think this was already done in #5359 ! fn load<'a>(
&'a self,
bytes: &'a [u8],
load_context: &'a mut LoadContext,
) -> BoxedFuture<'a, Result<(), bevy::asset::Error>> { |
Yeah anyhow is the tool we currently use when we need an api to accept "any" error. I'm open to something custom that provides a similar API, given reasonable justification. |

Makes sense to me! |
# Objective - Fixes #8140 ## Solution - Added Explicit Error Typing for `AssetLoader` and `AssetSaver`, which were the last instances of `anyhow` in use across Bevy. --- ## Changelog - Added an associated type `Error` to `AssetLoader` and `AssetSaver` for use with the `load` and `save` methods respectively. - Changed `ErasedAssetLoader` and `ErasedAssetSaver` `load` and `save` methods to use `Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static>` to allow for arbitrary `Error` types from the non-erased trait variants. Note the strict requirements match the pre-existing requirements around `anyhow::Error`. ## Migration Guide - `anyhow` is no longer exported by `bevy_asset`; Add it to your own project (if required). - `AssetLoader` and `AssetSaver` have an associated type `Error`; Define an appropriate error type (e.g., using `thiserror`), or use a pre-made error type (e.g., `anyhow::Error`). Note that using `anyhow::Error` is a drop-in replacement. - `AssetLoaderError` has been removed; Define a new error type, or use an alternative (e.g., `anyhow::Error`) - All the first-party `AssetLoader`'s and `AssetSaver`'s now return relevant (and narrow) error types instead of a single ambiguous type; Match over the specific error type, or encapsulate (`Box<dyn>`, `thiserror`, `anyhow`, etc.) ## Notes A simpler PR to resolve this issue would simply define a Bevy `Error` type defined as `Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>`, but I think this type of error handling should be discouraged when possible. Since only 2 traits required the use of `anyhow`, it isn't a substantive body of work to solidify these error types, and remove `anyhow` entirely. End users are still encouraged to use `anyhow` if that is their preferred error handling style. Arguably, adding the `Error` associated type gives more freedom to end-users to decide whether they want more or less explicit error handling (`anyhow` vs `thiserror`). As an aside, I didn't perform any testing on Android or WASM. CI passed locally, but there may be mistakes for those platforms I missed.
