Re: [jboss-as7-dev] Add Notification support to the domain management API

I've updated the doc[1] to focus on the web console use case and
the minimal requirements it has.
I wrote a simple plain HTTP API (no WebSockets, working with cURL) that should be enough
for the Web console to handle notifications.
Since it's HTTP only, the console would still have to poll but:
1. It will have few well-defined HTTP resources to poll
2. There is an explicit contract for the notifications instead of extracting information
from the different responses it get from the server.
This API should be suitable to http-based clients and when undertow is available in AS7,
we could provide a WebSocket upgrade on its URL endpoints to push notifications to the
browser.
A switch to Undertow for domain management is theoretically available soon.

acts as an API client to the server internals. This way we might have websocket
notifications as an early preview for example.
