W3C AnonCreds + AFJ Demo

• Aries Framework JavaScript repo: https://github.com/DSRCorporation/aries-framework-javascript/tree/w3c-demo-poc
• Anoncreds-RS library, Anoncreds-NodeJs, and Anoncreds-Shared are built from the branch: https://github.com/DSRCorporation/anoncreds-rs/tree/anoncreds-wc3-wrappers
  • Use main implementation (not included, dropping of mapping  and encoding  changes)
• Update AFJ @hyperledger/anoncreds-nodejs  and `@hyperledger/anoncreds-shared` dependencies to use locally built packages
