Feature: Reduce the aissemble-foundation-messaging-python-client whl size

[meliz19]

Description

CI broke over the weekend due to the test.pypi repo exceeding its max limit. While we cleared the cache, we were curious to know why the aissemble-foundation-messaging-python-client .whl file was so large. I looked at the size of all our .whl files and aissemble-foundation-messaging-python-client is in fact the largest wheel file (53M) across all of aissemble's projects. The reason for this is that we're copying over the jar files from foundation-messaging-python-service.

DOD

• [ ] Update the foundation-messaging-python-service pom.xml to generate a native executable
• [ ] Update aissemble-foundation-messaging-python-client project to use the native executable and update the python files accordingly

Test Strategy/Script

1. Visit TestPyPi.org and search for aissemble-foundation-messaging-python-client.
2. Select the latest version.
3. From the package "home page," select Download Files.
4. Confirm the package is < 55 MB.* To be updated.

Findings

• We were able to create an uber jar via the maven-assembly-plugin. It reduced the .whl size from 53 MB -> 44 MB, but the decrease isn't substantial enough to warrant the code changes.

• We explored the use of the proguard-maven-plugin; however, due to limited available documentation, the effort required to implement this plugin was not worth the potential reduction in the .whl size.

• The foundation-drift-detection-client-java README references the use of quarkus to create a native executable, but it's out of date. That functionality isn't enabled within that project.
