netrap object model

Object Model for a netrap server, exposed via AJAX

server-server protocol may substitute a server object for TOP so tree-walk can be performed.

listPrintersWithCapabilities() is the major function to be implemented, this should also cause a broadcast amongst any server-server networks where all other functions are server-local

TOP
+-	Printers[]
|	+- Printer
|		+- capabilities
|		|	+- PLA/ABS
|		|	+- color
|		|	+- size
|		|	+- fine or fast
|		|	+- other arbitrary name/value pairs
|		+- listCapabilities() => string_pair capability_pair_list[]
|		+- getCapability(string capability_name) => string capability_value
|		+- setCapability(string capability_name, string new_value)
|		|
|		+- properties
|		|	+- temperature
|		|	|	+- nozzle
|		|	|	+- bed
|		|	+- position
|		|	|	+- X
|		|	|	+- Y
|		|	|	+- Z
|		|	|	+- E
|		|	+- fan speed
|		+- listProperties() => string property_name[]
|		+- getProperty(string property_name) => string property_value
|		+- setProperty(string property_name, string property_value)
|	
+- listPrinters() => string printer_names[]
|
+- getCurrentPrinter() => string printer_name
+- setCurrentPrinter(string printer_name)
|
+- listPrinterCapabilities() => string capability_names[]
+- listPrintersWithCapabilities(string_pair capability_pair_list[])

remember that we want smoothie to act as a netrap server, don't want to make it too complex! smoothie already has code set up for it to access a flat file database (its config) and that's all we need at this level I think we can do SQL queries as a protocol upgrade which smoothie won't support, so let's get the low tech method working before replacing it with amazing high level stuff :)
