Summary:
folly::dynamic, std::string, implicit constructors and method overloading is not a good combination.
This renames the send method to sendRaw as to avoid issues with existing plugins currently sending string params.

Summary:
For C++, folly::dynamic is used throughout.
On iOS and Android though, Flipper goes through multiple conversions to get to a folly::dynamic only to ultimately obtain a JSON string from it.
Let's take a look at Android:
There are multiple types like FlipperObject, FlipperArray that wrap around a JSONObject.
When data needs to be sent:
1. The JSONObject is asked for its string representation.
2. The string representation is then parsed by folly to construct the folly::dynamic instance.
3. The step above involves an extra boundary cross through JNI.
4. Ultimately, a socket or ws connection does not understand folly::dynamic so we then get a JSON string representation from it.
5. Data is sent.
As described above, for big enough objects, this represents an issue.
So, the idea of this change, is to allow plugins to send a JSON string instead. This will remove a few serialisation/deserialisation steps from the process.
*Note: this API is not currently used by anything so there's no impact to existing plugins.*
Changelog: expose a send method that accept a string as params

Summary:
`/*` is the standard throughout open source code. For example, Firefox uses single /*: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/21d22b2f541258d3d1cf96c7ba5ad73e96e616b5/gfx/ipc/CompositorWidgetVsyncObserver.cpp#l3
In addition, Rust considers `/**` to be a doc comment (similar to Javadoc) and having such a comment at the beginning of the file causes `rustc` to barf.
Note that some JavaScript tooling requires `/**`. This is OK since JavaScript files were not covered by the linter in the first place, but it would be good to have that tooling fixed too.

Summary:
Flipper exposes a call() api to plugins which lets them call their sdk component, and it returns a promise with the response.
Currently this is done by sending a fireAndForget request, noting the id of the request, and then receiving fireAndForget requests and matching up the ids to give the result back to the right plugin promise.
Instead, it will be simpler to use rsocket requestResponse, instead of fireAndForget, which is for this exact use case. This diff adds a requestResponse handler to the SDK, so that it can deal with such requests and respond accordingly, while preserving the current functionality if it receives a fireAndForget.
So this part is backwards compatible and should be safe to land in isolation.
A later diff will change the desktop app to use requestResponse, which may not be backwards compatible, so that will have to be deployed more carefully.
