Add Promise support for http callout

[jizhuozhi]

In the current envoy WASM plugins, if we need IO request such as HTTP/GRPC/Redis, we must register request to envoy event loop and assigned a token via such as dispatch_http_call and WASM plugin should yield current request lifetime using Action::Pause. When the IO request completed, the envoy will callback to WASM plugin via on_http_call_response, and plugin should dispatch response using token (or ignored if single IO request). If we want to share something between dispatch_http_call and on_http_call_response, we must share them in plugin context fields, it's not a suitable scope.

Here is an example from proxy-wasm-rust-sdk

impl HttpContext for HttpAuthRandom {
    fn on_http_request_headers(&mut self, _: usize, _: bool) -> Action {
        self.dispatch_http_call(
            "httpbin",
            vec![
                (":method", "GET"),
                (":path", "/bytes/1"),
                (":authority", "httpbin.org"),
            ],
            None,
            vec![],
            Duration::from_secs(1),
        )
        .unwrap();
        Action::Pause
    }

    fn on_http_response_headers(&mut self, _: usize, _: bool) -> Action {
        self.set_http_response_header("Powered-By", Some("proxy-wasm"));
        Action::Continue
    }
}

impl Context for HttpAuthRandom {
    fn on_http_call_response(&mut self, _: u32, _: usize, body_size: usize, _: usize) {
        if let Some(body) = self.get_http_call_response_body(0, body_size) {
            if !body.is_empty() && body[0] % 2 == 0 {
                info!("Access granted.");
                self.resume_http_request();
                return;
            }
        }
        info!("Access forbidden.");
        self.send_http_response(
            403,
            vec![("Powered-By", "proxy-wasm")],
            Some(b"Access forbidden.\n"),
        );
    }
}

So there is three major problem we need to resolve:

1. How to easier dispatch request and callback response via token.
2. How to share something between dispatch request and callback response with smaller scope.
3. How to make code more fluid instead of spreading logic in different places

In Rust async programming, normally we use async/await for IO request, but in envoy WASM plugin, there is no executor to poll future. A suitable solution is providing JavaScript style Promise (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise). With Promise, we could write all logic in single function

impl HttpContext for HttpAuthRandom {
    fn on_http_request_headers(&mut self, _: usize, _: bool) -> Action {
        let token = self.dispatch_http_call(
            "httpbin",
            vec![
                (":method", "GET"),
                (":path", "/bytes/1"),
                (":authority", "httpbin.org"),
            ],
            None,
            vec![],
            Duration::from_secs(1),
        )
        .unwrap();
        let promise = Promise::new();
        // make relation between promise and request (token)
        promise.then(|(_, _, body_size, _)| {
            if let Some(body) = hostcalls::get_http_call_response_body(0, body_size) {
                if !body.is_empty() && body[0] % 2 == 0 {
                    info!("Access granted.");
                    hostcalls::resume_http_request();
                    return;
                }
            }
            info!("Access forbidden.");
            hostcalls::send_http_response(
                403,
                vec![("Powered-By", "proxy-wasm")],
                Some(b"Access forbidden.\n"),
            );
        })
        Action::Pause
    }

    fn on_http_response_headers(&mut self, _: usize, _: bool) -> Action {
        self.set_http_response_header("Powered-By", Some("proxy-wasm"));
        Action::Continue
    }
}

It seems more fluid then writing in callback of on_http_call_response, but there is no executor for promise to trigger state transferring. We can use on_http_call_response as trigger simply

struct HttpAuthRandom {
    promise: Rc<Promise<(u32, usize, usize, usize)>>
}

impl HttpContext for HttpAuthRandom {
    fn on_http_request_headers(&mut self, _: usize, _: bool) -> Action {
      // ...
      // make relation between promise and request (token)
      self.promise = promise.clone();
      // ...
    }
}

impl Context for HttpAuthRandom {
    fn on_http_call_response(&mut self, _token_id: u32, _num_headers: usize, _body_size: usize, _num_trailers: usize) {
        self.promise.fulfill((_token_id, _num_headers, _body_size, _num_trailers))
    }
}

As for making relationship between multi tokens and promises, we could just using HashMap with insert/remove (maybe it should be embed in SDK but not belongs to this PR)

struct HttpAuthRandom {
    m: HashMap<u32, Rc<Promise<(u32, usize, usize, usize)>>
}

impl HttpContext for HttpAuthRandom {
    fn on_http_request_headers(&mut self, _: usize, _: bool) -> Action {
      // ...
      // make relation between promise and request (token)
      self.m.insert(token, promise.clone());
      // ...
    }
}

impl Context for HttpAuthRandom {
    fn on_http_call_response(&mut self, _token_id: u32, _num_headers: usize, _body_size: usize, _num_trailers: usize) {
        let promise = self.m.remove(token);
        promise.fulfill((_token_id, _num_headers, _body_size, _num_trailers))
    }
}

Note: hostcalls is re-implemented of resume_http_request and send_http_response because we cannot move self to callbacks.

msrv/stable/nightly will fix, but another outdated/reactors seems not belong to this PR, PTAL :)

Thanks! I'll fix existing errors shortly. Sorry about that!

There is currently a problem involving the collaboration between SDK and user code: HttpClient is created by user code, but the callback is driven by the SDK. There is currently no way to shield this detail within the SDK. User code always needs to write boilerplate code in on_http_call_response to driver callback.

I have no idea to resolve this problem :(
