Misnamed item types for assembly resources

[KalleOlaviNiemitalo]

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

The topic on "C# Compiler Options that specify resources" shows examples:

<Resources Include=filename>
  <LogicalName>identifier</LogicalName>
  <Access>accessibility-modifier</Access>
</Resources>

<LinkResources Include=filename>
  <LogicalName>identifier</LogicalName>
  <Access>accessibility-modifier</Access>
</LinkResources>

However, when the CoreCompile target in Microsoft.CSharp.Core.targets runs the Csc task, it passes those parameters as Resources="@(_CoreCompileResourceInputs);@(CompiledLicenseFile)" and LinkResources="@(LinkResource)". _CoreCompileResourceInputs is an internal item type that the _GenerateCompileInputs target populates from @(EmbeddedResource). So the examples should add items to the EmbeddedResource item type rather than Resources, and to the LinkResource (singular) item type rather than LinkResources (plural).
