build: remove websocket support from deltachat-jsonrpc

WebSocket support is not used
and is not maintained. It still uses
outdated axum 0.7 version
and does not have any authentication.

Delta Chat Desktop has a new browser target
that implements WebSocket support on top
of stdio server, supports blobs
and is tested in CI.

The JSON-RPC API is exposed in two fashions:
* A executable that exposes the JSON-RPC API through a [WebSocket](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_API) server running on localhost.
* The JSON-RPC API can also be called through the [C FFI](../deltachat-ffi). The C FFI needs to be built with the `jsonrpc` feature. It will then expose the functions `dc_jsonrpc_init`, `dc_jsonrpc_request`, `dc_jsonrpc_next_response` and `dc_jsonrpc_unref`. See the docs in the [header file](../deltachat-ffi/deltachat.h) for details.

We also include a JavaScript and TypeScript client for the JSON-RPC API. The source for this is in the [`typescript`](typescript) folder. The client can easily be used with the WebSocket server to build DeltaChat apps for web browsers or Node.js. See the [examples](typescript/example) for details.

## Usage
#### Running the WebSocket server
From within this folder, you can start the WebSocket server with the following command:
```sh
cargo run --features webserver
```
If you want to use the server in a production setup, first build it in release mode:
```sh
cargo build --features webserver --release
```
You will then find the `deltachat-jsonrpc-server` executable in your `target/release` folder.
The executable currently does not support any command-line arguments. By default, once started it will accept WebSocket connections on `ws://localhost:20808/ws`. It will store the persistent configuration and databases in a `./accounts` folder relative to the directory from where it is started.
The server can be configured with environment variables:
|variable|default|description|
|-|-|-|
|`DC_PORT`|`20808`|port to listen on|
|`DC_ACCOUNTS_PATH`|`./accounts`|path to storage directory|
If you are targeting other architectures (like KaiOS or Android), the webserver binary can be cross-compiled easily with [rust-cross](https://github.com/cross-rs/cross):
```sh
cross build --features=webserver --target armv7-linux-androideabi --release
```
#### Using the TypeScript/JavaScript client
The package includes a JavaScript/TypeScript client which is partially auto-generated through the JSON-RPC library used by this crate ([yerpc](https://github.com/Frando/yerpc/)). Find the source in the [`typescript`](typescript) folder.

The JavaScript client is not yet published on NPM (but will likely be soon). Currently, it is recommended to vendor the bundled build. After running `npm run build` as documented above, there will be a file `dist/deltachat.bundle.js`. This is an ESM module containing all dependencies. Copy this file to your project and import the DeltaChat class.

#### Running the example app
We include a small demo web application that talks to the WebSocket server. It can be used for testing. Feel invited to expand this.

npm run example:build
npm run example:start
```
Then, open [`http://localhost:8080/example.html`](http://localhost:8080/example.html) in a web browser.

# TODO
- [ ] different test type to simulate two devices: to test autocrypt_initiate_key_transfer & autocrypt_continue_key_transfer
## MVP - Websocket server&client
For kaiOS and other experiments, like a deltachat "web" over network from an android phone.
- [ ] coverage for a majority of the API
- [ ] Blobs served
- [ ] Blob upload (for attachments, setting profile-picture, importing backup and so on)
- [ ] other way blobs can be addressed when using websocket vs. jsonrpc over dc-node
- [ ] Web push API? At least some kind of notification hook closure this lib can accept.
### Other Ideas for the Websocket server
- [ ] make sure there can only be one connection at a time to the ws
- why? , it could give problems if its commanded from multiple connections
- [ ] encrypted connection?
- [ ] authenticated connection?
- [ ] Look into unit-testing for the proc macros?
- [ ] proc macro taking over doc comments to generated typescript file
## Desktop Apis
Incomplete todo for desktop api porting, just some remainders for points that might need more work:
- [ ] manual start/stop io functions in the api for context and accounts, so "not syncing all accounts" can still be done in desktop -> webserver should then not do start io on all accounts by default
