Description
Currently sync15 only supports sync engines written in Rust. However, we want to provide the data that should be synced via Kotlin. So we need to create a custom SyncEngine that can interface with Kotlin.

Research direction
Start by reading the components/sync15 implementation and its SyncEngine interface to understand how engines are currently written in Rust. Define what a Kotlin-provided sync engine must expose and verify that sync data can be supplied through the new interface.
