Typing Ergonomics for Docs and Authors Client

[Zyell]

When implementing user code that needs to type a parameter that should be either a Doc or Author Client, it currently requires adding quic-rpc as a dependency. The following example shows the current situation:

use iroh_docs::rpc::client::authors::Client;
use iroh_docs::rpc::client::docs::Doc;
use iroh_docs::rpc::proto::{Request, Response};
use quic_rpc::transport::flume::FlumeConnector;

pub struct ApplicationClient {
    // ... //
    blobs: iroh_blobs::rpc::client::blobs::MemClient,
    docs: iroh_docs::rpc::client::docs::MemClient,
}

impl ApplicationClient {
    // ... //
    fn authors(
        &self,
    ) -> Client<FlumeConnector<Response, Request>> {
        self.docs.authors()
    }
    
    async fn create_doc(
        &self,
    ) -> anyhow::Result<Doc<FlumeConnector<Response, Request>>> {
        self.docs.create().await
    }
}

Both the Doc and Blobs Clients have a special type declared to avoid having to make quic-rpc a hard dependency in user code. Could such types be created for both Doc and the Author Client?

Could such types be created for both Doc and the Author Client?

That's one solution, the other would be to use BoxedConnector for the in-memory clients.
The Client and Doc types already have a default for their generic parameter that is set to BoxedConnector. This would plug in nicely.
