Add support for shared code between chapters

[ashfurrow]

It's as easy as copying Swift files into the Sources folder, we would need to document how playgrounds on the mac need to reference these and not copy them.

This is really tricky, since Playgrounds on macOS will only copy files and not reference them from outside the playground. It may just be a matter of having to duplicate the code across chapters. Not ideal, but might be good enough. Since I haven't had a need to references files across chapters yet, I can't prioritize/figure out the best solution for this issue.

Maybe editing the playground workspace xml manually could be used?

I have a playground book I want to try building over the next week or so that's going to rely on some shared code stuff, so I'll hopefully get a better sense of that stuff.

Cool! I tried symlinks and macOS shortcuts without success.

See the discussion on https://github.com/ashfurrow/playgroundbook/pull/34

The .playgroundbook format has 3 different Source folders:

• Root Source folder shared by every chapter
• .playgroundchapter/Source folder (similar to .playground/Source)
• .playgroundpage/Source folder (similar to .xcplaygroundpage/Source)

That said, I have not found a way to use the same file in multiple .playground.
