feat(sdk): Implement Client::observe_events and Client::observe_room_events.

Changelog: This patch introduces a mechanism similar to
 `Client::add_event_handler` and `Client::add_room_event_handler`
 but with a reactive programming pattern. This patch adds
 `Client::observe_events` and `Client::observe_room_events`.

 ```rust
 // Get an observer.
 let observer =
     client.observe_events::<SyncRoomMessageEvent, (Room, Vec<Action>)>();

 // Subscribe to the observer.
 let mut subscriber = observer.subscribe();

 // Use the subscriber as a `Stream`.
 let (message_event, (room, push_actions)) = subscriber.next().await.unwrap();
 ```

 When calling `observe_events`, one has to specify the type of event
 (in the example, `SyncRoomMessageEvent`) and a context (in the example,
 `(Room, Vec<Action>)`, respectively for the room and the push actions).
