Integrate Volley with Kotlin coroutines

It would be awesome if volley exposed a set of suspend functions for making requests that work well with Kotlin coroutines. Sure I can roll my own solution, but it would be awesome to have an officially supported one.

I'm definitely open to ways to make Volley interop with Kotlin better, as long as doing so does not introduce a new dependency on the Kotlin runtime for Java-only Volley users, and as long as it can be achieved in a mostly-additive way on top of the existing library rather than requiring significant changes to Volley's structuring.

If someone would like to make a proposal for what this would look like, I'd be happy to review. I'm not personally deeply familiar with Kotlin/Java interop though I'm lightly familiar with Kotlin. Otherwise, it may be a while before we get to this.

Any update on this feature request? With the high adoption of kotlin + coroutines it would be nice if volley had coroutines support. I would prefer to use Volley over Retrofit for many use cases but the lack of coroutines makes it a difficult decision. Especially now with all all the different lifecycle and architecture components such as ViewModel, LiveData, Flow, etc
