This example is inspired by:
https://troz.net/post/2024/swiftui-mac-2024/
Current status:
- Lists status code
- Can select status code
- Downloads image from status code
- Shows image from status code
This adds two new features to Xilem:
- The worker view, which is the obvious extension to `task` for multiple
operations
- The `image` view, which just uses Masonry `Image`.
It also fixes a the Masonry Image view's layout to use the already
extant but unused method.
This adds a new `VariableLabel` widget, which animates its weight to a
target value in a linear fashion (over a fixed time period). Also adds
support for this in Xilem, and a new `variable_clock` example. This
example also runs on Android.

Current status: The code in Xilem and Masonry library crates is final.
I'm planning on significantly updating the actual example.
Outstanding issues:
- [X] Hacks in support for "Roboto Flex", by always loading it from the
local file - resolved
- [X] It's not clear what subset of Roboto Flex we should use - still
open to bikeshedding
- [ ] The variable font animation support is not really as generic as it
should be. This starts to drift quite close to a styling question,
however.
- [ ] The only supported variable axis is `wgth`
Note that this adds a link to a section added in
https://github.com/linebender/parley/pull/69
I removed Taffy from the diagram for simplicity, and because Taffy's
current integration is in flux.
Overall I think the Xilem README is in desperate need of a rewrite, and
this PR should be considered a stopgap. Further PRs should better
integrate the ecosystem descriptions into the README, move some sections
around, etc.
