add "auto" mode ability to API

[altmattr]

Add "auto" mode ability to the API. Code can either run just as it is (and any node-based code will have to work this way) or (in the browser) the programmer can just provide setup and act methods and the api takes care of calling setup once at the start and act once every second.

I think the best way to do this might be to extend the current init method to something like

const init = (url, setup = undefined, act = undefined) => {
  // usual connection / subscription
  setup != undefined && setup()
  return {
    ...
   act: act == undefined ? undefined : setInterval(() => act(), 1000)
   ...
}

The act function can either be returned to the user to call when they want or we can just call it for them after setup.

Yes, absolutely, that is a really good idea. but I think the defaults need to be () => {} or you will get an error
