Make it possible to configure and start seastar from Rust

piodul commented 1 year ago

We would like to allow Rust to start the Seastar runtime.

In C++, the process of starting the runtime has a small number of steps:

First, app_template::seastar_options is created and set appropriately
The app_template is created, with seastar options passed as the first argument
Finally, app_template::run is called to start the application

We would like to offer a similar experience in Rust:

Options: for now let's only make it possible to set the application name, description and the number of shards. The properties should be settable via setters/getters.
AppTemplate: it should be possible to create it from Options and it should have only one method run which works analogously as the original app_template::run.

I can't edit assignees, so I hope this comment suffices - I'm assigning myself.
