This commit allows multiple REST server instances to run simultaneously, enabling multiple webviews that use qtcli to be opened in VSCode. Add additional commands and options to the qtcli: - qtcli server start --socket <name> - qtcli server stop all - qtcli server start --exit-on-idle - qtcli server start --exit-on-idle --heartbeat <duration, e.g. 10s, 500ms> - qtcli server ls When --exit-on-idle is specified, the qtcli server will automatically close, unless it receives any request from the client within a specific timeout. Maximum idle time for the server will be three times the heartbeat duration. This ensures that the qtcli server process is not left running without a client. Webviews in qt-core have been updated to reflect these changes: - Webviews now generate a socket ID and pass it to qtcli. - QtcliRestClient posts /heartbeat requests to keep the server alive. - Add QtcliRestServer class to start qtcli with the proper arguments Task-number: [VSCODEEXT-289](https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/VSCODEEXT-289)
