Description
Similar to #52, but for Node.JS. There's quite some issues with legacy/outdated FFI dependencies in the current wrapper.
Node FFI RS seems more modern, and like a good replacement.
See https://github.com/openwallet-foundation/credo-ts/pull/2317#issuecomment-2962994226 for context and an example

Research direction
Start by comparing issue #52 and the linked credo-ts pull request comment for migration context and an example. Then inspect the current Node.js wrapper's FFI dependencies and determine the scope of replacing them with node-ffi-rs; done means the legacy dependencies are removed and the wrapper continues to provide its existing functionality.
