Add port customization feature #4

Allow user to specify a port to connect via the browser interface

Just realized I can launch the browser from Go and then in React get the address with window.location.href. With this the websocket won't have to be hardcoded.
This should also allow a single computer on the network to run openbooks and it should be accessible from other PC's since the websocket will be connecting to the proper IP instead of localhost:8080/ws

Implemented, but only one computer can access it at a time on the network. The server websocket is set to whichever computer connects last... To fix this I would need to basically make it "hostable" instead of a simple local application. It would have to keep track of all connected clients via a map or something
