[tim-janik/beast] Migrate IDL (#94)

[Tim Janik <notifications github com>]

Atm, we still build with and depend on aidacc and sfidl.
Use of sfidl should be finally phased out, aidacc should be simplified to just help with:

• interfaces, methods, enums, property accessors.
• meta data on properties and enum values.
• event delivery.
• support for an Any/Variant type for dynamic Event contents and a dynamic property interface
• glue for method calls and event delivery between threads
• glue for C++ Iface objects on the one hand and _javascript_ Handle objects.

In particular not in current focus for aidacc should be:

• portability beyond Beast
• inter-process communication, using it across thread boundaries is good enough for our uses
• sophisticated marshalling into serializable buffers, instead, packing arguments into lambdas or similar idioms is sufficient for crossing thread boundaries.
