Research direction

Start by reviewing the functions in wasi_nn::wasi_ephemeral_nn::* and the public API documented at docs.rs/wasi-nn/0.1.0/wasi_nn/wasi_ephemeral_nn/index.html. Define the higher-level Rust binding surface and verify that the raw Wasm symbols are no longer exposed directly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The functions defined in wasi_nn::wasi_ephemeral_nn::* are the raw Wasm symbols used to link with the host's implementation of wasi-nn. The wasi-nn Rust bindings should not expose these, since they should be providing a higher level of abstraction. These symbols are visible in the documentation here.
