This adds a websocket endpoint for handling `nomad exec`. The endpoint is a websocket interface, as we require a bi-directional streaming (to handle both input and output), which is not very appropriate for plain HTTP 1.0. Using websocket makes implementing the web ui a bit simpler. I considered using golang http hijack capability to treat http request as a plain connection, but the web interface would be too complicated potentially. Furthermore, the API endpoint operates against the raw core nomad exec streaming datastructures, defined in protobuf, with json serializer. Our APIs use json interfaces in general, and protobuf generates json friendly golang structs. Reusing the structs here simplify interface and reduce conversion overhead.
