Description 

Implement rust wrapper around aries-vcx  to enable consuming the library in mobile setting using modern FFI approach using uniffi library. Additionally implement aries mediator client to unlock full mobile support.

Additional Information

Currently there's a basic POC https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-vcx/tree/main/uniffi_aries_vcx

Learning Objectives

• Learn about self sovereign identity and Aries protocols
• Learn Rust language
• Learn basics of Kotlin language, basics of Android development
• Learn Github Actions and CI process in general
• Learn about FFI (Foreign Function Interface) by using uniffi library 

Expected Outcome

• uniffi_aries_vcx  rust crate which generate mobile bindings for aries-vcx library
• implement mediator client with aries message pick-up protocol support
• simple android demo application which can be run in simulator
• CI job to build Kotlin and iOS bindings, CI job to test the wrapper
