API / Rust library crate

[casey]

This could be an RPC API, or a Rust library crate, depending on what people want.

gRPC/protobuf would be handy to self-generate client code stubs in almost all languages out there, to allow to integrate ord in as many apps as possible

Talked to a wallet developer, a library crate would really help - essentially taking out the "pub crate". @casey we had talked about that months ago (I wanted to use as a library as well), and I remember you had some concerns, that I do not remember.

Also could use a library crate.

It technically already is a library crate but we haven't designed it in a way that lends itself to be used as a library. We do want to make it more useful though.

I'd be interested to know which parts of the codebase would be most useful for you? Just to know where to start

In my case I want to use ParsedEnvelope::from_transaction() but it's private.

Ok thanks, that is a useful one.

Just going to connect this #2964, which would be the first step.
