Chat Server IO

Chat server implementation using SocketServer.IO in Java code for server-side and simple index.html for client-side. Added implementation improvement such as:

• Broadcast a message to connected users when someone connects or disconnects.

• Add “{user} is typing” functionality.
• Show who’s online.
• Add private messaging.
