Split desktop and web components

[jacobtomlinson]

It would be good to pull the bulk of this application out into a separate repository called opsdroid-web. This would contain the react web application which is used for chatting with opsdroid.

This repository would then use opsdroid-web as a dependency and simply wrap it in electron for use as a desktop application.

We could then also use opsdroid-web as a dependency in opsdroid and serve the same interface from the opsdroid web server.

Steps:

• [x] Create a new repo and move the React application into it
• [x] Remove/make optional the electron specific code like electron-settings and electron-connect.
• [ ] Create NPM and PyPI packages for the compiled React application (so we can keep Babel out of this project).
• [ ] Update this repo to use the new web package.
• [ ] Update opsdroid to use the new web package.

I've started working on this, not sure how far I will get haha

It looks like the websocket library we are using is node only. So we need to swap it over.

I've just pushed up opsdroid-web which is a browser based fork of this project. I've updated the tick boxes above to reflect progress!

Hi @jacobtomlinson are you available to review PRs for https://github.com/opsdroid/opsdroid-web ? There are some automatic pulls and version updates, and I think they could be squashed into one, tested and then you get one instead of many PRs. Sounds good?
