Am I right in assuming that this could eliminate the need for a service account token if being run on a desktop PC? That's been the one thing that's held me back from using this in a personal project, since I want to run it on multiple computers capable of running the 1Password desktop app, and token sync is a bit of a headache. |

Summary
This MR adds logic for handling invoking requests directly though the desktop app, for leveraging the desktop app prompt authentication model for desktop integrations built on top of the SDK.
Thought Process
A new core implementation was added to load a shared lib from the Desktop app bundle used to make IPC calls to the desktop app server. To do that we first attempt for find the path of the desktop app from well known locations.
The client builder api is enriched with an option to specify whether you want a specific client to authenticate via auth prompts.
NOTE: Internal op-codegen will need changes as well since code generated files were modified. But I'm leaving that for after the api is stabilised
How to Test
This can be tested only using an internal desktop app build that spawns an IPC server.
