Add Zig bindings for the Pumpkin plugin API
The bindings under src/wit are generated from the pumpkin-plugin-wit
submodule by tools/gen.zig. The canonical ABI is handled at comptime in
src/abi.zig, so plugins are plain wasm32-freestanding modules and only
need wasm-tools to become a component.

On top of that there is a small hand written layer: plugin registration,
typed event handlers, declarative commands (cmd), text components from
struct literals (msg) and std.log support.

# Pumpkin API for Zig
This package provides Zig bindings for building Pumpkin plugins using WebAssembly (Wasm) components.
You will need [Zig](https://ziglang.org/download/) 0.16.0 and [`wasm-tools`](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-tools) in your `PATH`.
## Quick Start
1. Setup Your Project
Add the package to your project:
```sh
zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/Pumpkin-MC/pumpkin-api-zig
```
Create a `build.zig` for your plugin:
```zig
const std = @import("std");
const pumpkin_api = @import("pumpkin_api_zig");
pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
_ = pumpkin_api.addPlugin(b, b.dependency("pumpkin_api_zig", .{}), .{
.name = "pumpkin-plugin-example",
.root_source_file = b.path("src/main.zig"),
});
}
```
2. Write Your Plugin
Create your source file (e.g. `src/main.zig`):
```zig
const std = @import("std");
const pumpkin = @import("pumpkin");
pub const std_options: std.Options = .{ .logFn = pumpkin.logFn };
const MyPlugin = struct {
pub const metadata: pumpkin.Metadata = .{
.name = "pumpkin-plugin-example",
.version = "0.1.0",
.authors = &.{"You"},
.description = "An example plugin in Zig.",
};
pub const events = .{
.player_join_event = onJoin,
};
pub fn onLoad(_: pumpkin.Context) !void {
std.log.info("Hello from Zig!", .{});
}
fn onJoin(_: pumpkin.Server, ev: *pumpkin.EventData(.player_join_event)) void {
std.log.info("{s} joined", .{ev.player.getName()});
}
};
comptime {
pumpkin.register(MyPlugin);
}
```
Everything the API returns, handles included, is only valid until the current callback returns. Call `keep()` on a handle to hold on to it, then release it with `deinit()` when you're done.
3. Build Your Plugin
Compile your plugin into a WebAssembly component:
```sh
zig build
```
This will produce `zig-out/pumpkin-plugin-example.wasm` ready to be loaded into Pumpkin.
