Expose and document API using JS request and response types

It seems the only way to use this library is with Deno or other environments that have a very similar API, but internally this library works with any JS request and response.

It would be fab if functions were exposed to convert from a JS request into a Glen request, and from a Glen response into a JS response.

I would be tempted to also remove the custom serve function in favour of this, as it's quite convoluted to use unless the server you're using has exactly the same API as deno.

Thanks,
Louis

Consider always having the function in the last position

Hello!

Currently the serve function and other have the function first rather than last, which is the Gleam convention.

Having the function last would mean that they are suitable for use expressions, and the formatter will format them nicely.

pub fn main() {
  glen.serve(
    fn(request) {
      ...
    }
    8000,
  )
}

vs

pub fn main() {
  glen.serve(8000, fn(request) {
    ...
  })
}

Thanks,
Louis
