Summary
Generic channel code as developed by Jonas @javajonny Maurer as part of his internship, so full credits to him. I slightly simplified the code (removing debug statements) and added some text for release notes/README.md, as his internship ended, and re-tested things using a POC of a custom channel platform running locally (that is not publicly available at this time).
Details and comments
This takes pass at #1842 .
Testing -- I didn't see any concerns in unit tests; no tests added though since the intention of the generic channel is to have qiskit-ibm-runtime do minimal checking and mangling of parameters (such as no magic applied to url etc.).
