#26 allow connecting through http server

[tzijnge]

• Added commands to connect and disconnect the socket. Also a command to query the connection state.
• Unlike other commands, connection state can be modified when the socket is connected, or else it would be impossible to disconnect
• example:

def connect_socket(self) -> bool:
    es_id = self._get_ephys_socket_id()

    response = self._put(
        f"/api/processors/{es_id}/config",
        payload={"text": "ES CONNECT"},
    )

    return response["info"] == "CONNECTED"

This is a great start, thank you for submitting it! I have a few comments, and some suggestions, please take a look at them and change those sections.

@tzijnge One more thing, please go to the OpenEphysLib.cpp file, and update the library version to 1.1.0:

info->libVersion = "1.1.0";

Looks good to me! I tested this and was able to connect/disconnect/query the connection status successfully. Thanks for the help with this.

@tzijnge I have merged this to the main branch. It is not deployed to the plugin manager yet, I will wait to do that until we have updated the documentation. Let me know if you would like to take a shot at doing that, or I would be happy to take care of it.

@bparks13 I have also updated the documentation and created a PR. Thanks for the collaboration!
