This change is needed so that interoperability with other languages becomes simpler.
Particularly, this simplification is needed from the Python point of view,
where it is tricky to pass a void** as a parameter to an FFI function.
* on_chain/group_manager: use .async: (raises:[Exception]).
* bump nim-dnsdisc
* update nim-chronos to the latest state
* chat2.nim: catch any possible exception when stopping
* chat2bridge.nim: make it to compile after vendor bump
* ValidIpAddress (deprecated) -> IpAddress
* vendor/nim-libp2p additional bump
* libwaku: adapt to vendor bump
* testlib/wakunode.nim: adapt to vendor bump (ValidIpAddress -> IpAddress)
* waku_node: avoid throwing any exception from stop*(node: WakuNode)
* test_confutils_envvar.nim: ValidIpAddress -> IpAddress
* test_jsonrpc_store: capture exception
* test_rln*: handling exceptions
* adaptation to make test_rln_* to work properly
* signature enhancement of group_manager methods
* libwaku: Avoid global variable and changing callback signature
* Better signature for the callback. Two new parameters have been added:
one aimed to allow passing the caller result code; the other
param is to pass an optional userData pointer that might need
to be linked locally with the Context object. For example, this is needed
in Rust to make the passed closures live as
long as the Context.
* waku_example.c: adaptation to the latest changes
* libwaku.h: removing 'waku_set_user_data' function
* libwaku.nim: renaming parameter in WakuCallBack (isOk -> callerRet)
* 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
