Add http API to aider #850

Issue

My IDE is BBEdit. I'd like to facilitate better integration with BBEdit & aider.

Since BBEdit uses "shell worksheets" which are not terminal (tty), aider doesn't run in there. But if aider had another 'interface' (other than readterm and streamlit) then I can initiate chat with BBEdit devs to possibly support aider directly. @siegel

For proof-of-concept I created an API for aider. As simple test I was able to add files and send a chat message from a BBEdit shell worksheet. So hopefully BBEdit and aider can become good friends.

Is an "api" a reasonable feature for aider?

Alternatively, rather than 'http' API, how about using stdin/stdout (or other FD's) for JSON RPC (similar to LSP)?

Thanks for trying aider and filing this issue. Adding an http api is currently out of scope for aider, but is a possible future enhancement.
