The Cost Of async/await On The Build Size

Knowing how async/await works under the hood, I was interested in understanding the impact on the build size, as the compiler does its magic and for each async method generates the state machine consisting of hundreds of lines of code. During IL2CPP phase this amount grows even further, so code growth definitely should cause build size to increase, let's find out the actual impact in this analysis.
