zach ddcbeec3de refactor!: Remove context, unify extism-runtime and extism crates (#421)
- Removes the `ExtismContext` type from runtime and all SDKs
- Removed SDK functions: `extism_context_new`, `extism_context_reset`,
`extism_context_free`
  - All SDKs have been updated, but there are still some TODOs below 
- Removes `extism_plugin_update`
- Plugins can no longer be updated - a new plugin should be created
instead
- Adds `extism_plugin_id` to uniquely identify plugins
- Merges the `extism-runtime` and `extism` crates (there is no longer an
`extism-runtime` crate)
- Makes `extism::Manifest` an alias for `extism_manifest::Manifest`
instead of a distinct type
- Adds `MemoryHandle` type to SDKs to refer to blocks of Extism memory
that can be accessed in host functions
- Improves thread-safety of Plugins, adds C++ test to call a single
plugin from multiple threads.
- Expands wasmtime bounds to include 12.0

Getting Started

Example

# point to some wasm code, this is the count_vowels example that ships with extism
manifest = %{ wasm: [ %{ path: "/Users/ben/code/extism/wasm/code.wasm" } ]}
{:ok, plugin} = Extism.Plugin.new(manifest, false)
# {:ok,
# %Extism.Plugin{
#   resource: 0,
#   reference: #Reference<0.520418104.1263009793.80956>
# }}
{:ok, output} = Extism.Plugin.call(plugin, "count_vowels", "this is a test")
# {:ok, "{\"count\": 4}"}
{:ok, result} = JSON.decode(output)
# {:ok, %{"count" => 4}}

Modules

The primary modules you should learn is:

Plugin

The Plugin represents an instance of your WASM program from the given manifest. The key method to know here is Extism.Plugin#call which takes a function name to invoke and some input data, and returns the results from the plugin.

{:ok, plugin} = Extism.Plugin.new(manifest, false)
{:ok, output} = Extism.Plugin.call(plugin, "count_vowels", "this is a test")
