Fairy bridge demo

This shows off a potential viaduct replacement that uses new UniFFI
features. Check out `components/fairy-bridge/README.md` and
`examples/fairy-bridge-demo/README.md` for details.  Execute
`examples/fairy-bridge-demo/run-demo.py` to test it out yourself.

The UniFFI features are still a WIP.  This is currently using a branch
in my repo.  The current plan for getting these into UniFFI main is:
  - Get the `0.26.0` release out the door
  - Merge PR #1818 into `main`
  - Merge my `async-trait-interfaces` branch into main (probably using a
    few smaller PRs)

The Desktop plan needs to be explored more.  I believe there should be a
way to use Necko in Rust code, but that needs to be verified.

+# Fairy Bridge
+
+Fairy Bridge is an HTTP request bridge library that allows requests to be made using various
+backends, including:
+
+  - The builtin reqwest backend
+  - Custom Rust backends
+  - Custom backends written in the foreign language
+
+The plan for this is:
+  - iOS will use the reqwest backend
+  - Android will use a custom backend in Kotlin using fetch
+    (https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/tree/35ce01367157440f9e9daa4ed48a8022af80c8f2/android-components/components/concept/fetch)
+  - Desktop will use a custom backend in Rust that hooks into necko
+
+## Sync / Async
+
+The backends are implemented using async code, but there's also the option to block on a request.
+This means `fairy-bridge` can be used in both sync and async contexts.
+
+## Cookies / State
+
+Cookies and state are outside the scope of this library. Any such functionality is the responsibility of the consumer.
+
+## Name
+
+`fairy-bridge` is named after the Fairy Bridge (Xian Ren Qiao) -- the largest known natural bridge in the world, located in northwestern Guangxi Province, China.
