/**
 * Native C++ interface for interaction with TDLib.
 *
 * The TDLib instance is created for the lifetime of the Client object.
 * Requests to TDLib can be sent using the Client::send method from any thread.
 * New updates and responses to requests can be received using the Client::receive method from any thread,
 * this function must not be called simultaneously from two different threads. Also note that all updates and
 * responses to requests should be applied in the same order as they were received, to ensure consistency.
 * Given this information, it's advisable to call this function from a dedicated thread.
 * Some service TDLib requests can be executed synchronously from any thread by using the Client::execute method.
 *
 * General pattern of usage:
 * \code
 * std::shared_ptr<td::Client> client = std::make_shared<td::Client>();
 * // somehow share the client with other threads, which will be able to send requests via client->send
 *
 * const double WAIT_TIMEOUT = 10.0;  // seconds
 * bool is_closed = false;            // should be set to true, when updateAuthorizationState with
 *                                    // authorizationStateClosed is received
 * while (!is_closed) {
 *   auto response = client->receive(WAIT_TIMEOUT);
 *   if (response.object == nullptr) {
 *     continue;
 *   }
 *
 *   if (response.id == 0) {
 *     // process response.object as an incoming update of type td_api::Update
 *   } else {
 *     // process response.object as an answer to a sent request with id response.id
