[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] [WoK] Asynchronous UI notification implementation

From: Daniel Henrique Barboza <danielhb at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch makes backend and UI changes to implement the asynchronous
UI notification in WoK.

- Backend:

A push server was implemented from scratch to manage the opened websocket
connections. The push server connects to the /run/woknotifications
UNIX socket and broadcasts all messages to all connections.

The websocket module is the same module that exists in the Kimchi
plug-in. The idea is to remove the module from Kimchi and make it
use the module from WoK. ws_proxy initialization was also added
in src/wok/server.py.

- Frontend:

In ui/js/wok.main.js two new functions were added to help the
usage of asynchronous notifications in the frontend. The idea:
a single websocket is opened per session. This opened websocket
will broadcast all incoming messages to all listeners registered.
Listeners can be added by the new wok.addNotificationListener()
method. This method will clean up any registered listener by
itself when the user changes tabs/URL.

The single websocket sends heartbeats to the backend side each
30 seconds. No reply from the backend is issued or expected. This
heartbeat is just a way to ensure that the browser does not
close the connection due to inactivity. This behavior varies from
browser to browser but this 30 second heartbeat is more than enough
to ensure that the websocket is kept alive.

- Working example in User Log:

A simple usage is provided in this patch. A change was made in
src/wok/reqlogger.py to send an asynchronous notification each
time a new log entry is created. In ui/js/wok.user-log.js a
websocket listener is added using wok.addNotificationListener()
and, for each message that indicates a new user log entry, a
refresh in the listing is issued.
