FR: Integrate ARDOP WEBGUI

[nathanielbutts]

ARDOP has an option from the command line to launch a webgui on http://localhost:8514 which is very useful for troubleshooting, adjustment, etc. I have a script to start ardop and pat like ardopcf -G 8514, or ardopcf --webgui 8514.

My favorite option would be to have an option to launch and display this webgui output (waterfall, phasor diagram, adjustments) while attempting to connect.

My second favorite option would be to launch this from Pat so it doesn't need to be done separately, and then display a link or open that tab in the browser.

I have been thinking something similar, @nathanielbutts. I start Pat and then have to start each transport separately.

I don't love the idea of trying to incorporate the ARDOP UI into Pat, though. If the Ardop guys make a change there's risk it would break Pat, or not display properly. But, I do love the idea of adding launchers per transport. This would require the user to input the command to launch the transport in the transport config. IF the value is present, Pat shells to the command line to launch the transport.

Does that sound right?
