Module transport

Built in transports for quic-rpc

There are two sides to a transport, a server side where connections are accepted and a client side where connections are initiated.

Connections are bidirectional typed channels, with a distinct type for the send and receive side. They are unrelated to services.

In the transport module, the message types are referred to as In and Out.

A Connector can be used to open bidirectional typed channels using Connector::open. A Listener can be used to accept bidirectional typed channels from any of the currently opened connections to clients, using Listener::accept.

In both cases, the result is a tuple of a send side and a receive side. These types are defined by implementing the StreamTypes trait.

Errors for both sides are defined by implementing the ConnectionErrors trait.
