Added the com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-scalars converter to Retrofit to parse OPDS network responses.

* Created `LibkiwixBook` to wrap the `Book` class from `libkiwix`, allowing us to set custom values from the database and manage books received from the `OPDS` stream. This wrapper is necessary because the original Book class does not provide setters. We'll use `LibkiwixBook` throughout the codebase. * Refactored the codebase to replace `LibraryNetworkEntity.Book` with `LibkiwixBook`.
