Macros for entity/object conversion

[shaobo-he-aws]

User level API features/changes

Describe the feature you'd like to request

Derive macros on Rust structs that generate methods to convert them to/from entities. This is akin to ORM. For instance,

#[derive(Cedar)]
struct Team {
  #[eid]
  id: String,
  members: HashSet<Member>
}
#[derive(Cedar)]
struct Member {
  #[eid]
  id: String,
  location: String,
}

Team { id: "t0", member: [Member {id: "m0", location: "USA"}, Member {id: "m1", location: "CAN"}]} gets converted to entities {Team::"t0": { "member": [Member::"m0", Member::"m1"]}, Member::"m0": {...}, Member::"m1": {...}.
