1914ea7076 refactor(rust): remove forced callback indirection (#9362)
As relict from very early designs of `connlib`, the `Callbacks` trait is
still present and defines how the host app receives events from a
running `Session`. Callbacks are not a great design pattern however
because they force the running code, i.e. `connlib`s event-loop to
execute unknown code. For example, if that code panics, all of `connlib`
is taken down. Additionally, not all consumers may want to receive
events via callbacks. The GUI and headless client for example already
have their own event-loop in which they process all kinds of things.
Having to deal with the `Callbacks` interface introduces an odd
indirection here.

To fix this, we instead return an `EventStream` when constructing a
`Session`. This essentially aligns the API of `Session` with that of a
channel. You receive two handles, one for sending in commands and one
for receiving events. A `Session` will automatically spawn itself onto
the given runtime so progress is made even if one does not poll on these
channel handles.

This greatly simplifies the code:

- We get to delete the `Callbacks` interface.
- We can delete the threaded callback adapter. This was only necessary
because we didn't want to block `connlib` with the handling of the
event. By using a channel for events, this is automatically guaranteed.
- The GUI and headless client can directly integrate the event handling
in their event-loop, without having to create an indirection with a
channel.
- It is now clear that only the Apple and Android FFI layers actually
use callbacks to communicate these events.
- We net-delete 100 LoC

1bdba3601a feat(gui-client): rename IPC service to Tunnel service (#9154)
The name IPC service is not very descriptive. By nature of being
separate processes, we need to use IPC to communicate between them. The
important thing is that the service process has control over the tunnel.
Therefore, we rename everything to "Tunnel service".

The only part that is not changed are historic changelog entries.

Resolves: #9048

5566f1847f refactor(rust): move crates into a more sensical hierarchy (#9066)
The current `rust/` directory is a bit of a wild-west in terms of how
the crates are organised. Most of them are simply at the top-level when
in reality, they are all `connlib`-related. The Apple and Android FFI
crates - which are entrypoints in the Rust code are defined several
layers deep.

To improve the situation, we move around and rename several crates. The
end result is that all top-level crates / directories are:

- Either entrypoints into the Rust code, i.e. applications such as
Gateway, Relay or a Client
- Or crates shared across all those entrypoints, such as `telemetry` or
`logging`
