@near-js/client package

readme

This PR contains an outline for a proposed implementation for an API providing high-level methods for interacting with NAJ objects. The ultimate goal is to provide simple methods which map directly to clear behavior (examples). These methods in turn can be easily wrapped by frontend libraries to tie the behavior to application lifecycle.

The implementation is backed primarily by a NearClient class to reduce the number of required dependencies and provide an intuitive API for common operations. Client instances are easily configured for viewing and/or signing and provide helpful methods with clear, succinct parameters. This would also be exported from the package to aid in more complex use cases.

This is very much a WIP and contains some duplicated code (in particular some tightly coupled logic in accounts and transactions), but is still useful as a proof of concept for a simple composition layer over @near-js packages. It can easily be supplemented with a caching strategy and extended for use in frontend frameworks (i.e. hooks).
