chore: merge probe-engine into probe-cli (#201)
This is how I did it:

1. `git clone https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine internal/engine`

2. ```
(cd internal/engine && git describe --tags)
v0.23.0
```

3. `nvim go.mod` (merging `go.mod` with `internal/engine/go.mod`

4. `rm -rf internal/.git internal/engine/go.{mod,sum}`

5. `git add internal/engine`

6. `find . -type f -name \*.go -exec sed -i 's@/ooni/probe-engine@/ooni/probe-cli/v3/internal/engine@g' {} \;`

7. `go build ./...` (passes)

8. `go test -race ./...` (temporary failure on RiseupVPN)

9. `go mod tidy`

10. this commit message

Once this piece of work is done, we can build a new version of `ooniprobe` that
is using `internal/engine` directly. We need to do more work to ensure all the
other functionality in `probe-engine` (e.g. making mobile packages) are still WAI.

Package github.com/ooni/probe-engine/oonimkall

Package oonimkall implements APIs used by OONI mobile apps. We expose these APIs to mobile apps using gomobile.

We expose two APIs: the task API, which is derived from the API originally exposed by Measurement Kit, and the session API, which is a Go API that mobile apps can use via gomobile.

This package is named oonimkall because it contains a partial reimplementation of the mkall API implemented by Measurement Kit in, e.g., mkall-ios.

The basic tenet of the task API is that you define an experiment task you wanna run using a JSON, then you start a task for it, and you receive events as serialized JSONs. In addition to this functionality, we also include extra APIs used by OONI mobile.

The basic tenet of the session API is that you create an instance of Session and use it to perform the operations you need.
