feat: add ResourceLink content type and ResourceContent interface (#341)

- Add ResourceContent interface with common resource metadata methods
- Implement ResourceContent in existing Resource class
- Add new ResourceLink record class implementing Content and ResourceContent
- Update Content interface to support ResourceLink with "resource_link" type (breaking!)
- Add tests for ResourceLink serialization/deserialization
- Update test expectations to include new resource_link type
