62dc078271 cln-grpc: Generate server dispatcher
The server doesn't do much more than unwrapping the request from its
grpc envelope, convert it into the matching JSON-RPC binding struct,
initiate the RPC connection (until we have connection pooling), and
then forwards the converted request. The inverse then happens for the
result.

5d6e9d6dae cln-grpc: Add generation of request conversion
This is taking protobuf requests on one side and converting them into
the JSON-RPC requests.

8d3871d791 cln-grpc: Add result conversion generator to msggen
This takes the Rust bindings and converts them into the generated
protobuf bindings:

> JSON-RPC -> Rust bindings -> grpc bindings -> protobuf

b0053e2ca2 msggen: Generate the cln-rpc Rust structs
We're generating these structs so we can parse them directly into
native objects.

0fc0ffc961 msggen: Parse JSON-RPC schemas and build the in-memory model
We build an in-memory model of what the API should look like, which
will later be used to generate a variety of bindings. In this PR we
will use the model to build structs corresponding to the requests and
responses for the various methods.

The JSON-RPC schemas serve as ground-truth, however they are missing a
bit of context: methods, and the request-response matching (as well as
a higher level grouping we'll call a Service). I'm tempted to create a
new document that describes this behavior and we could even generate
the rather repetitive JSON schemas from that document. Furthermore
it'd allow us to add some required metadata such as grpc field
numbering once we generate those bindings.

Changelog-Added: JSON-RPC: A new `msggen` library allows easy generation of language bindings for the JSON-RPC from the JSON schemas
