Thomas Eizinger b7dc897eea refactor(rust): introduce libs/ directory (#10964 )

The current Rust workspace isn't as consistent as it could be. To make
navigation a bit easier, we move a few crates around. Generally, we
follow the idea that entry-points should be at the top-level. `rust/`
now looks like this (directories only):

```
.
├── cli             # Firezone CLI
├── client-ffi      # Entry point for Apple & Android
├── gateway         # Gateway
├── gui-client      # GUI client
├── headless-client # Headless client
├── libs            # Library crates
├── relay           # Relay
├── target          # Compile artifacts
├── tests           # Crates for testing
└── tools           # Local tools
```

To further enforce this structure, we also drop the `firezone-` prefix
from all crates that are not top-level binary crates.

gateway

This crate houses the Firezone gateway.

Building

You can build the gateway using: cargo build --release --bin firezone-gateway

You should then find a binary in target/release/firezone-gateway.

Running

The Firezone Gateway supports Linux only. To run the Gateway binary on your Linux host:

Generate a new Gateway token from the "Gateways" section of the admin portal and save it in your secrets manager.
Provide the token to the Gateway using one of these methods:
- Set the FIREZONE_TOKEN=<gateway_token> environment variable
- Set a systemd credential named FIREZONE_TOKEN.
Set FIREZONE_ID to a unique string to identify this gateway in the portal, e.g. export FIREZONE_ID=$(head -c 32 /dev/urandom | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f1). The Gateway requires this variable at startup. We recommend this to be a 64 character hex string.
Now, you can start the Gateway with:

firezone-gateway

If you're running as a non-root user, you'll need the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to open /dev/net/tun. You can add this to the gateway binary with:

sudo setcap 'cap_net_admin+eip' /path/to/firezone-gateway

Ports

The gateway requires no open ports. Connections automatically traverse NAT with STUN/TURN via the relay.
