Include library in main.cpp

Huh, removing the angle brackets resilved the issue:
This works:

#include "/home/maxg/Documents/PlatformIO/Projects/MavLink_Test1/.pio/libdeps/megaatmega2560/MAVLink v2 C library/ardupilotmega/mavlink.h"

So does this:

#include "../.pio/libdeps/megaatmega2560/MAVLink v2 C library/ardupilotmega/mavlink.h"
