Description

I was doing something else with contracts this week, so I have produced a stable libcontract-sys crate that does not require a bindgen build step, etc.

https://crates.io/crates/libcontract-sys

It's published on crates.io and should hopefully cover all the things that sled-agent presently does with contracts, etc.

Research direction

Start by locating sled-agent's bespoke libcontract(3LIB) wrappers and comparing the operations they use with the published libcontract-sys crate. Done means sled-agent uses libcontract-sys instead of its current wrappers and no longer requires the bindgen build step.
