Websocket fixes:
1. alert client on failed and lost web socket connections
A long message is given if the connection fails within 1s, which assumes the connection did not succeed. Otherwise, it is a short 'connection closed unexpectedly'.
This also means that clients are notified on server termination (for better or worse).
2. remove superfluous ws-hostname parameter from notebook
This made the notebook server artificially and unnecessarily brittle against tunneling and explicit hostname resolution. Now, the ws_url is defined based on the Origin of the request for the url, so it always matches the http[s] url. This means that it will follow the same tunnel, and the hostname will be already resolved. Resolving the hostname twice makes no sense at all unless the websockets are going to a different server than the http requests.
Implemented as a property, so it should still be easy to change for future cases where it might behave differently (e.g. websockets on a different host, or at a non-root url).

This also means that clients are notified on server termination.
This made the notebook server artificially and unnecessarily brittle to tunneling, and non-local hostname resolution. The ws_url is now defined based on the Origin of the request. This allows tunneled hosts and ports to preserve connections, as the ws_url always matches the one in use by the client.

The notebook now supports a `--read-only` flag, which allows users to view all notebooks being served but not to edit them or execute any code. These actions are not allowed and the buttons, shortcuts, etc. are removed, but the requests will raise authentication errors if they manage to send the events anyway. Save/print functions remain available.
This flag can be used in two modes:
1. When running an unauthenticated server, one can run a *second* read-only server in the same directory on a public IP address. This will let users connect to the read-only view without having to worry about configuring passwords and certificates for the execution server.
2. When running a server configured with authentication (and hopefully an SSL certificate), starting it with `--read-only` allows unauthenticated users read-only access to notebooks. This means that the same server on a single port can be both used by authenticated users for execution and by the public for viewing the available notebooks.
Show invalid config message on TraitErrors during initialization.
implemented via `@catch_config` decorator
Now, the event that was triggered by invalid app config (see `--log-level 5`) is triggered by bad config at any point during initialization.
This *will* catch TraitError-raising bugs in IPython itself, but only during initialization.
Also, deregister crash handler on use to avoid it being triggered recursively/repeatedly.
If a user has Chrome set as their default browser (system-wide or via
the `BROWSER` environment variable), opening the notebook hangs
because the chrome call doesn't return immediately. This solves the
issue by opening the browser in a thread.
Note that there remains an issue where killing the notebook will kill
Chrome if the Chrome session was started by us. I haven't found a way
to work around that despite attempts by making the webbrowser.open()
call in a subprocess.
When using a password, read-only mode allows unauthenticated users
read-only access to notebooks. Editing, execution, etc. are not
allowed in read-only mode, but save/print functions are available.
No kernels are started until an authenticated user opens a notebook.

The History will always appear empty, so history magics, etc. don't do anything. Readline history for a single session works fine.
Test suite should now pass without sqlite
Adding clear_output to kernel and HTML notebook.
This enables the clearing of output during the execution of a cell. It can be used for simple forms of animation in the notebook.
All buttons, show/hide clickable areas, etc. should have some tooltip describing
what they do. There are jQuery plugins for enhanced tooltips, but this gets
the lightest version working.

Various Notebook usability fixes:
- add kernel restart dialog confirmation (it destroys the user session)
- add missing keybindings
- change language from 'terminal mode' to 'in-place execution' which is more descriptive
- adjust spacing/padding and colors slightly for readability and better use of space in small screens.
- add line numbering toggle to code cells. Triggered with C-m-l.
- show keybindings in monospaced font.
- add QuickHelp button that is always visible and at the top.
- add missing keybindings for kernel interrupt/restart from the kbd.
Now multiple calls no longer show multiple instances of the shortcut dialog. Rather, clicking the quick help, or invoking `C-m h` will hide
the dialog if shown.
Update codemirror to 2.15 and make the code internally more version-agnostic.
Added our own README file with information about what changes we carry to upstream CodeMirror and what version we currently use.
This is separate from previous, because it is more likely to be rejected.
It requires the the Session objects in Handlers get a reference all the way back up to the IPython App that started the environment.
stdin requests are now directed to the frontend that made the execution
request that called raw_input.
allow_stdin flag added to execution_request to indicate whether stdin_requests are allowed.
StdInNotImplementedError exception class added to IPython.core.error, and is raised if raw_input is called from execute requests where allow_input is undefined.

Simply call it 'codemirror', so we don't have explicit version numbers
inside a bunch of files.
A file called ipython-version-N.NN will be kept to easily let us know
which version we're shipping with IPython.
Several improvements to stdout/stderr handling and visual layout of cells.
Now stdout and stderr are kept contiguous (in a single div) if they are being written to continuously, and stderr is shown with a light red background to help distinguish from stdout.
Further, input cells now have a light gray background to help distinguish them from plain stdout areas.
* add think border around input area
* change background instead of foreground on stderr
* only stderr/stdout are output_stream, general text (including streams) is output_text
* reduce vertical padding on stream output, per @fperez
Consecutive messages to stdout or stderr will not be split
into separate divs, until a new message to different stream
arrives.
Appending will only occur when the latest output is the same
as the new one. Interleaving messages will still result in
multiple divs.
* test_for uses import_item, instead of __import__
* test_for now allows a callback, for processing the result of import_item prior to comparison with min_zmq
* callback is only called when min_zmq is defined
* callback's default is to just return mod.__version__
* use this to check tornado version, and zmq as a version tuple
* fix pexpect check to use external.pexpect
These messages are not returned to the browser, but are printed
to the server logs and will help the code readability.
I have also used a more specific code in some cases.
We were having problems with notebook renaming when using uuid5,
as there are many places in the code where we assume that the
notebook id is unique and unchanging as long as the notebook
server runs.
* It seems that our old setting of visible was causing scroll bars
to appear if font sizes change in Chrome.
* Also changed json -> xml in Download UI.
* I have added page-break-inside logic to div.input and
div.output_area.
* Fixed a bug in CodeCell that was putting the output_area class
on the wrong div.
I had removed a text area focus event earlier today and that
broke the . key. We are still having problems with CodeMirror
elements gaining focus, but this seems to fix the issue.
* Favicon.ico is served.
* Test suit now passes.
* Help links work for for me.
* Other changes made to address inline comments.
* The printing of long lines is an extremely subtle issue and I will open an issue for it.
* zmqws.py is completely gone so the naked print is not an issue.
* ipython-notebook removed from scripts.
* Updated copyright and authors of files.
* Fixed missing docstrings in IPython.nbformat.
IPDoctest replaces the normal doctest plugin. Previously we did this by
initializing the builtin plugins but skipping the doctest plugin.
However, if the user has a noserc file with 'with-doctest=1' or the
environment variable 'NOSE_WITH_DOCTEST', then nose will try and
initialize the doctest plugin when it isn't there, and barf. This
commit defers the removal of the doctest plugin to the configuration
stage, so doctest can be enabled before it is thrown away by us.
* Previously, when a kernel died due to an external cause, the
notebook/kernel mapping was not removed, so the kernel would
be resused even though it was dead.
* The heartbeat now properly removes the notebook/kernel mapping.
* Both the header and parent_header have a date field that cannot
be json serialized. This field is just removed for now, but
in the future, we will covert the date to a ISO8601 field.
* Better error handling around this code has also been added
to prevent the server from crashing due to malformed messages.
* Full kernel heartbeating is working.
* Connections between the notebook and server and now created
a new each time there is a WebSocket connection. Each channel is
also handled separately. This dramatically simplifies the
server code and makes for a more scalable system.
