GUI should be able to store preferences per user #60

There should be a backend to the GUI to store preferences. This should be based on a key value store and can eventually be backed by Atomix (that can be the subject of a separate issue in time).

Although there are no individual users for the application at the moment it is envisaged that Kubernetes will provide a user service (probably aligned to the RBAC service).

To allow maximum flexibility the Preferences service can be deployed in the onos-gui image as a Go application. It does not need to have gRPC as an interface (as this would require a grpc-web proxy). Instead the Front end can communicate to this backend through web sockets. The Web Socket payload can be defined in a protobuf (so that code can be generated on both sides through protoc.

This backend can be used in future to support LION, RBAC, authentication etc.

This should be done instead through the Kubernetes API and stored in a config map
