The thirdparty/asio submodule is not included in your release tarballs

[asymingt]

Is there an already existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Expected behavior

The thirdparty/asio folder in the release has files.

Current behavior

The thirdparty/asio folder in the release has no files.

Steps to reproduce

Download a release and look in the thirdparty/asio folder.

Fast DDS version/commit

All release archives are affected.

Platform/Architecture

Other. Please specify in Additional context section.

Transport layer

Default configuration, UDPv4 & SHM

Additional context

I am writing a bazel module to build fastdds@3.5.0. The trouble is that when you build with HAVE_SECURITY=1 you need asio from the thirdparty folder. However that doesn't exist in your archive.

This is the main issue tracking the submodule exclusion problem in github:
dear-github/dear-github#214

The simplest path forward would likely be a github action that runs when a new tag is pushed, and this action pulls the submodules recursively, strips out all git metadata and compresses release zip and tar.gz archives.
