DHT over ADNL (Rust Implementation)

[liketurbo]

Summary

In continuation of #258 and #296, this one involves Rust implementation of DHT.

Context

A Rust implementation of DHT serves two purposes for TON ecosystem:

1. Provides you with a ready-to-use library for your applications
2. Stands as a valuable guide for your own DHT implementation

Goals

• Implement DHT for Rust

Deliverables

• Rust DHT implementation

Definition of Done

• [ ] Publish the module on crates.io
• [ ] Create a repository housing the DHT implementation, complete with documentation and examples

Reward

• Standard TON Footstep NFT
• $2015 in TON

Total: $2015

Oriental Release Date

3 weeks

I've reduced the footstep reward because it's a reimplementation of #258. I opted for only a 30% reduction compared to #258 since Rust development still presents its challenges. Additionally, I decided to skip the ADNL over UDP implementation because there is an ADNL over TCP version available here tonstack/adnl-rs and here liketurbo/adnl-liteclient. Both use TCP, but I hope it's simply a matter of switching the socket type.

I don’t know how the TON community feels about Everscale at the moment, but there are interesting libraries for Rust with good support.
