Franz Heinzmann (Frando) 5b435d11c7 feat(jsonrpc): generate OpenRPC definitions
When running `cargo test` in the deltachat-jsonrpc folder,
a new file `openrpc/openrpc.json` will be created with an
[OpenRPC](https://spec.open-rpc.org/) definition.

It can be copy-pasted into the
[OpenRPC playground](https://playground.open-rpc.org/)
and used to generate clients in other languages.
