This PR adds the ability to cancel running plugins from another thread
in the host.
- All SDKs have been updated except .NET
- Adds a new SDK type: `ExtismCancelHandle`
- Adds 2 new SDK functions: `extism_plugin_cancel_handle` and
`extism_plugin_cancel`
- `extism_plugin_cancel_handle` returns a pointer to
`ExtismCancelHandle`, which can be passed to `extism_plugin_cancel` to
stop plugin execution.
- One thing that's worth noting is when plugin is executing a host
function it cannot be cancelled until after the host function returns.

- New types:
- `ExtismValType` - Enum of WebAssembly types
- `ExtismValUnion` - A union of the possible WebAssembly types
- `ExtismVal` - A struct with `ExtismValType` and `ExtismValUnion`
- `ExtismFunction` - The host function wrapper type
- `ExtismFunctionType` - The type of the host function callback
- `ExtismCurrentPlugin` - Provides access to the currently running
plugin from inside a host function
- New functions:
- `extism_function_new` - Create a new `ExtismFunction`
- `extism_function_free` - Free an `ExtismFunction`
- `extism_current_plugin_memory`, `extism_current_plugin_memory_alloc`,
`extism_current_plugin_memory_free`,
`extism_current_plugin_memory_length` - Manage plugin memory from inside
a host functions
- Updated functions
- `extism_plugin_new` and `extsim_plugin_update` - now accept two extra
parameters for `ExtismFunction*` array and length of that array
## Notes
- Host functions take a user-data argument, which is owned by the
resulting `ExtismFunction` and will be cleaned up when
`extism_function_free` is called (if a cleanup function was passed in
with the user data)
- Host functions in every SDK require working with `ExtismVal` arguments
directly, this is pretty low-level for what is kind of a high-level
feature. We could work on adding some types to the SDKs that make
working with pointers to plugin data more accessible, maybe something
similar to how the Rust PDK handes input/output data.
- In each language the host functions more-or-less share a signature:
`(CurrentPlugin plugin, Val inputs[], Val outputs[], userData)`
- C, C++, OCaml and Go take a single userData argument but Python and
Node take a "rest" argument which allows passing any number of user-data
values
- Go requires the host function to be exported:
f9eb5ed839/go/main.go (L13-L26)
- Zig and Ruby should be relatively simple to add host functions to next
but I haven't really looked into Elixir, .NET or Java yet.
- Also closes#20
- Adds `ExtismContext` instead of global `PLUGINS` registry
- Adds `extism_context_new`, `extism_context_free` and
`extism_context_reset`
- Requires updating nearly every SDK function to add context parameter
- Renames some SDK functions to follow better naming conventions
- `extism_plugin_register` -> `extism_plugin_new`
- `extism_output_get` -> `extism_plugin_output_data`
- `extism_output_length` -> `extism_plugin_output_length`
- `extism_call` -> `extism_plugin_call`
- Updates `extism_error` to return the context error when -1 issued for
the plug-in ID
- Adds `extism_plugin_free` to remove an existing plugin
- Updates SDKs to include these functions
- Updates SDK examples and comments

This PR updates `extism_output_get` to return an actual pointer to the
output value (`const uint8_t* extism_output_get(PluginIndex plugin)`
instead of `void extism_output_get(PluginIndex plugin, uint8_t *buffer,
uint64_t length)`), this pointer will only be valid until the next call,
but it makes it possible to access the output data without copying.
The input buffer is also not copied and the same issue applies:
the input buffer must not change during `call`.

This gives host the ability to re-use plugin descriptors instead of
loading a new plugin each time. The plugin memory and everything is
reset, so no state is shared with the newly loaded plugin.
