Allow consuming Winglibs from JSII-supported languages

[eladb]

Use Case

I'd like to consume Winglibs from Python, Java, Golang and .NET.

The top priority is to support preflight APIs.

Proposed Solution

Generate .jsii manifest when compiling a Winglib and then use JSII to produce language bindings.

This will only work for preflight code, but may be good enough for many use cases.

Sharing my use case: I need to set up a very common type of LLM pipeline in Python. If I could call/execute Wing from in Python via any reasonable API, it would be my go-to for the project. Especially because it means I can run locally & remotely without writing extra code.

@gofri would it make sense to stand up a cloud.Api wing endpoint and call it via a simple http request from your python code?

@eladb Yes, I think that would be a good step forward, and I can wrap it with some RPC. I'm not sure if py-to-js interop libs would work with Wing, but that would probably save a lot of boilerplate for that kind of server.
