* Thread-safe comms between main thread & Waku Thread - ChannelSPSCSingle.
* Renaming procs from 'new' to 'createShared'. They use the shared allocator.
* peer_manager_request: no need to use ptr WakuNode.
* waku_thread: moving the 'waitFor' to upper layer.
* waku_thread: `poll()` -> `waitFor sleepAsync(1)` to avoid risk of blocking.
* libwaku: thread-safe "sub-objects" in an inter-thread requests.
When two threads send data each other, that data cannot contain any
GC'ed type (string, seq, ref, closures) at any level.
* Allocating the 'configJson' in main thread and deallocating in Waku Thread.
* libwaku: create the WakuNode in the Waku thread. Not in the main thread
* node_lifecycle_request.nim: moving hard-coded value to a const item
* libwaku.nim: start using 'isOkOr' instead of 'isErr()'-approach
* node_lifecycle_request.nim: better 'async' & 'await' usage. Not block the runtime
* Simplifying libwaku.nim by extracting config parser to config.nim
* Adding json_base_event.nim
* Starting to control-version the libwaku.h
We are creating this libwaku.h inspired by the one that is automatically
generated by the nim compiler when `make libwaku` is invoked. Therefore,
the self-generated header is then placed in:
nimcache/release/libwaku/libwaku.h
* Better waku_example.c organization
* libwaku.nim: better memory management
We need to create a 'cstring' internally from the 'const char*' passed
from outside the library.
We invoke 'allocShared' in order to create the internal 'cstring',
and invoke 'deallocShared' in order to manually free the memory.
* Move record creation & fix libwaku
* app,external_config,internal_config,libwaku,sharding: refactorgin to make it compile

Notice that I had to adapt to use 'rlpx_connected_peers' instead
of 'connected_peers' in 'wakunode1.nim' because due to the update
of the 'vendor/nim-eth', which adds the dependency-break with
'confutils' but also includes another changes.
Aside note: we cannot have 'confutils' dependency in 'nim-eth' because
that will prevent the generation of any waku dynamic library.
* feat(cbindings): first commit - waku relay (#1632)
* test_app.nim: fix compilation issue. App.init(..) -> App.new(..)
* Simplifying library name (libwaku) and standardizing function names (waku_*)
* Proper wrapper of the waku_node API and creation of the libwaku.a
* Rolling back changes that are not needed
* Rolling back changes that are out of the scope of this task
* wakunode.nim: Removing unnecessary import
* Aplying PR suggestions
* Renaming 'waku.h' -> 'libwaku.h'
* Use of 'isNil' instead of '== nil'
* libwaku.nim: explicitly setting waku_poll() as gcsafe
