JavaScript FFI

[arthuro555]

Describe the extension

Allows people with very little programming knowledge to use JavaScript APIs from GDevelop

This is only the first version, in the future, I plan to add more stuff someday, like

• [ ] Creating an instance of a class that is stored into a structure.
• [ ] Calling a function returning a promise and get results via callback variables.
• [ ] Registering events handlers via callbacks (.addEventsListener/.on methods).

For now, though, it already allows doing pretty some nice stuff.

Checklist

• [X] Extension has a proper name and description.
• [X] Extension has tags (for example: "platform, brick, breakable").

Closing this, as it is easier to just use JavaScript events than this
