Add Matter support

[guyluz11]

Matter is a new IOT standard developed with corporation of big companies like Google Amazon Apple and more.

It just got support under Home Assistant using the python package python-matter-server (found repo of python package) and has 1095 active users.

Formerly Project named CHIP, was worked on by a group named Connectivity Standards Alliance.

Adding a standalone basic code of a Matter server that could turn a light on/off will be a good start, no need to connect it to the cbj_hub code.

This is the Matter documentation https://developers.home.google.com/codelabs/matter-sample-app#0
Another option is to reverse engineer the implementation of the python package I have mentioned

Found a Dart package for Matter GitHub repo link.
Currently it is empty

To run the code follow the instructions

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip.git
cd connectedhomeip/examples/chip-tool
./scripts/examples/gn_build_example.sh examples/chip-tool out/chip-tool
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.12-venv

And then I follow this one here
./gn_build.sh

Response from matter developer on discord

The chip-tool is just an example application. To create a .so you'd need to write code against the header files for relevant API such as those in connectedhomeip/src/controller... Then the easiest path is probably to link against a static platform library, I think it's libCHIP.a for linux

If you haven't done much C/C++ you'll need to learn how to create a build system and work with the CHIP API
