Sébastien StormacqandTim Condon 412a345bdd [core] Add user-facing API for Streaming Lambda functions that receive JSON events (#532)
Add user-facing API for Streaming Lambda functions that receives JSON
events

### Motivation:

Streaming Lambda functions developed by developers had no choice but to
implement a handler that receives incoming data as a `ByteBuffer`. While
this is useful for low-level development, I assume most developers will
want to receive a JSON event to trigger their streaming Lambda function.

Going efficiently from a `ByteBuffer` to a Swift struct requires some
code implemented in the `JSON+ByteBuffer.swift` file of the librray. We
propose to further help developers by providing them with a new
`handler()` function that directly receives their `Decodable` type.

### Modifications:

This PR adds a public facing API (+ unit test + updated README) allowing
developers to write a handler method accepting any `Decodable` struct as
input.

```swift
import AWSLambdaRuntime
import NIOCore

// Define your input event structure
struct StreamingRequest: Decodable {
    let count: Int
    let message: String
    let delayMs: Int?
}

// Use the new streaming handler with JSON decoding
let runtime = LambdaRuntime { (event: StreamingRequest, responseWriter, context: LambdaContext) in
    context.logger.info("Received request to send \(event.count) messages")
    
    // Stream the messages
    for i in 1...event.count {
        let response = "Message \(i)/\(event.count): \(event.message)\n"
        try await responseWriter.write(ByteBuffer(string: response))
        
        // Optional delay between messages
        if let delay = event.delayMs, delay > 0 {
            try await Task.sleep(for: .milliseconds(delay))
        }
    }
    
    // Finish the stream
    try await responseWriter.finish()
    
    // Optional: Execute background work after response is sent
    context.logger.info("Background work: processing completed")
}

try await runtime.run()
```

This interface provides:
- **Type-safe JSON input**: Automatic decoding of JSON events into Swift
structs
- **Streaming responses**: Full control over when and how to stream data
back to clients
- **Background work support**: Ability to execute code after the
response stream is finished
- **Familiar API**: Uses the same closure-based pattern as regular
Lambda handlers

Because streaming Lambda functions can be invoked either directly
through the API or through Lambda Function URL, this PR adds the
decoding logic to support both types, shielding developers from working
with Function URL requests and base64 encoding.

We understand these choice will have an impact on the raw performance
for event handling. Those advanced users that want to get the maximum
might use the existing `handler(_ event: ByteBuffer, writer:
LambaStreamingWriter)` function to implement their own custom decoding
logic.

This PR provides a balance between ease of use for 80% of the users vs
ultimate performance, without closing the door for the 20% who need it.

### Result:

Lambda function developers can now use arbitrary `Decodable` Swift
struct or Lambda events to trigger their streaming functions. 🎉
