[feature] Interface for incoming callbacks
This interface is intended to be used by Soledad users in order to implement consumers for IncomingBox feature. This happens by declaring how to process and save a incoming item, optionally decrypting if Soledad isn't able to decrypt it (planned feature for asymmetric encryption). -- Resolves: #8875
