bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5 5d0de7a682 android: the binding generator gets its own crate, free of the app's deps
Desktop (Tauri) / Windows installer (cross-compiled) (push) Successful in 2m27s
Android / Kotlin + Rust (debug APK) (push) Failing after 3m51s
Desktop (Tauri) / Tauri desktop (Linux) (push) Successful in 4m55s
Desktop (Tauri) / Update manifest (push) Successful in 5s
Third Android run got further than either before it — all four ABIs
cross-compiled, vendored OpenSSL and all — then the generator died:

  error: failed to run custom build command for `openssl-sys v0.9.117`

That is the HOST build. The generator was a [[bin]] inside thoughtsync-ffi, so
building it compiled that crate and therefore the core, reqwest, native-tls and
openssl-sys for linux. The vendored-OpenSSL block is scoped to
`cfg(target_os = "android")`, so the host build went looking for a system
OpenSSL that ci-rust-android has no reason to carry.

Adding libssl-dev to the image would have fixed it and been wrong: a code
generator has no business linking the app's TLS stack to emit Kotlin. Splitting
it into thoughtsync-uniffi-bindgen, whose only dependency is uniffi, removes the
entire chain. Verified from the dependency graph rather than from a build that
happened to succeed — `cargo tree -p thoughtsync-uniffi-bindgen` contains none of
openssl-sys, native-tls, reqwest, thoughtsync-core or rusqlite.

It stays a WORKSPACE MEMBER on purpose. Sharing one lockfile is what keeps uniffi
here and uniffi linked into the .so at one version; they are two halves of one
ABI, and a separate lockfile is precisely how they would drift apart. The cost is
that the desktop lane now compiles ~15 generator crates it never runs — cheap
next to Tauri, and better than leaving the crate unlinted.

Drops the `bindgen` feature and required-features bin from thoughtsync-ffi, which
existed only to keep those crates off the desktop lane and now have nothing to
gate.

Local fmt + clippy + test all green before pushing (107 tests).
