@gkustas, @mbellehumeur, will you guys look at this?

Following along with @gkustas's excellent take on including websocket support in FHIRcast in issue #45, this pr proposes that the subscriber uses all existing RESTful interactions where it is the client, including subscription creation. This scopes our websocket changes to just what's needed (not requiring a subscriber to have a webserver/SSL cert).

Note that one of the problems with websockets is the inability to cleanly provide a bearer token in the javascript API. The proposed approach in this pr treats the hub.topic as an authentication "ticket" (which would require additional entropy in the hub.topic uri).
