Implement a console using the web technology stack

[aschaeffer]

In order to replace the ingame console, we've to implement a web based console. The idea is to reuse the command line API we are currently building.

Each instance get it's own console, which allows to switch between different consoles. The Inexor Web Console works the same way for instances of Inexor Core Client AND Inexor Core Server.

• An publicity available Inexor Core Server can be administered using a web interface
• An Inexor Core Client shows it's own console using a transparent layer
  • If you have permissions, you can also administer local or remote server instances within an Inexor Core Client

The user interface component can be found here: https://github.com/inexorgame/ui-console
