Requests to the `cockpit_extras` API

[joaoantoniocardoso]

I have two observations, the first one being a requirement for RadCam.

(1) - Hidden options:

Today, external blueos extensions cannot set the widget's options. An example is the widget.options.isCollapsible (added here) for the iframe widget:

---

(2) - iframe-only API design:

The current API accepts a list of "widgets", in which every single element can only be, with no discrimination possible, an iframe widget. What if an extension wants to add a mini-widget or a button to the screen?

Relevant part from http://192.168.2.2/extensionv2/radcammanager/cockpit_extras.json:

{
  "target_system": "Cockpit",
  "target_cockpit_api_version": "1.0.0",
  "widgets": [
    {
      "name": "RadCam (192.168.2.10)",
      "config_iframe_url": null,
      "iframe_url": "#/?uuid=bc071802-2c6d-8301-ac36-bc0718022c6d&cockpit_mode=true",
      "iframe_icon": "/assets/logo.svg",
      "version": "0.2.0-beta.14"
    }
  ]
}

WIP API updated to address (1):

Changes:

• Added: collapsibleContainerName, startCollapsed, useVehicleAddressAsBaseUrl;
• All renamed to camelCaseStyle;

Note:

• The final URL used by the iframe is constructed as: vehicleBaseUrl + iframeUrl;

Example:

{
  "targetSystem": "Cockpit",
  "targetCockpitApiVersion": "1.0.0",
  "widgets": [
    {
      "name": "RadCam (192.168.2.10)",
      "configIframeUrl": null,
      "iframeUrl": "#/?uuid=bc071802-2c6d-8301-ac36-bc0718022c6d&cockpit_mode=true",
      "iframeIcon": "/assets/logo.svg",
      "collapsibleContainerName": "RadCam Managger",
      "startCollapsed": true,
      "useVehicleAddressAsBaseUrl": true,
      "version": "0.2.0-beta.14",
    }
  ]
}

For future reference, it would also be nice if Cockpit exposed the currently selected language (once that's a thing, e.g. if/when #2314 gets merged) to imported widgets, so internationalisation can be propagated.
