[wildfly-dev] HTTP API support for plain JBoss-CLI commands

It's also fairly small, self-contained and easy to reimplement, as proven by

https://github.com/hal/dmr.js
https://github.com/hal/dmr.dart
https://github.com/hal/dmr.scala

I'm not aware of a Ruby implementation, but it shouldn't be _that_ hard
to build.

Then, parsing the CLI strings into a ModelNode structure should be
fairly simple too... for those CLI commands that translate directly to
management operations.

The "local" CLI commands (e.g. "batch", "patch" or "if") require
client-side processing, and that is a whole new can of worms.
