Description
The FFI definitions for rust should be auto generated instead of manually written.
This PR adds a new rust crate with auto generated bindings aiming to replace or remove all the manual bindings in the existing crate. Existing code is not changed. In future, the safe rust wrappers should be written on top of this generated bindings.
supersede #4696 . This PR uses rust bindgen instead of windows bindgen that has better cross platform support.
Generated code is checked in, and an "overwrite" feature can be used to regenerate the code.
TODO: macos needs to be added.
Testing
