Description
It'd be cool if you could set Bloblang variables before invoking mappings, and also access the variables afterwards. This should be straight forward to add by complementing the existing mapping executor methods.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing mapping executor methods exposed by the public Bloblang APIs and read how they are currently invoked. Trace the surrounding API and tests, then establish how variables should be provided before mapping execution and retrieved afterward. Done means both operations are available through the public API with tests covering them.
