Javier Cicchelli cd47043a30 [Feature] Communications (#4)
This PR constains the work done to define the necessary protocols and enumerations to start defining remote API service as well as an implementation of the `URLProtocol` to mock requests and responses when using the `URLSession` to make remote calls.

To provide further details about this work:
- [x] declared the `Communications` library in the `Package` file;
- [x] defined the minimum Apple platform versions in the `Package` file to support the async/await feature;
- [x] defined the `HTTPRequestMethod` and `HTTPResponseCode` public enumerations;
- [x] defined the `Endpoint` and `Client` public protocols;
- [x] implemented the internal `MakeURLRequestUseCase` use case;
- [x] implemented the `MockURLProtocol` class that mocks requests and responses on `URLSession` instances;
- [x] started writing and updating the `README` file.
