Server to publish local filesystem to IDE #20

This way the WebIDE could save / load .ksy and input binary files directly from filesystem, so we don't have to upload / download files manually.

(If the local folder is synced then you can get version history, push directly to Git, etc.)

By the way, if we'd want to wrap web IDE into some sort of engine like Electron, probably we can allow direct access to local filesystem with its API as well.

I consider desktop application support as a long-term goal. I presume I would have to solve problems like auto-updating these clients, releasing stable releases, etc.

I think currently a simple local server serves my goals better. But I keep that option in my mind too.

(Also: adding the WebIDE as an app in Chrome gives the same look and feel as an Electron app and if you are lucky it won't use 500MB of your ram and run 8 processes which is the case with Electron.)
