Better ergonomics and type-safety #105

Description

These few years many projects like axum and bevy provide type-safe function like argument, like apalis too.

Lately I have been playing around with these API and have been thinking of something like these.

fn add(x: usize, y: usize) -> usize {  // with an optional Job or State at the front
    x + y
}

broker.send(add.prepare(1, 2)).await.unwrap();

Or this style (but not sure if possible with faktory due to args):

fn add(Args((x, y)): Args<(usize, usize)>) -> usize {  // with an optional Job at the front or some other state extractor, type-safe state like axum
    x + y
}

broker.send(add.prepare(1, 2)).await.unwrap();

With registration of working like this:

fn add(x: usize, y: usize) -> usize {  // with an optional Job or State at the front
    x + y
}

let worker = Worker::new().register(add);  // or optional with_state
faktory::run(worker, &["default"]).await.unwrap();

What do you think? I did some some prototypes.

Although faktory is cross-language, but when working within the same language itself, it can help eliminates some bugs.

Looking at reusing parts of tower to provide neat features with layer too.

I was actually looking at apalis, but they don't have a core concept of routing functions, and I came across this project (even when I saw it back then).

After reading the original faktory specification, I felt like faktory have been largely monopolized, less motivated now.
