Message Endpoint

Pattern	Message Endpoint is a client of the messaging channel. It abstracts the details of communication to the application.
How Ballerina helps	Ballerina supports a rich set of libraries that abstract various messaging protocols (such as HTTP, gRPC, and Kafka) and provides a `Client` interface that acts as a message endpoint.
