Ktor with an observable on client side

[rjaros]

Support for websockets connections is added in KVision 0.0.32. It allows to use Kotlin coroutines channels to send typed objects in both directions between the client and the Ktor server. The guide is not yet updated so you can look at the tweets-fullstack-ktor example - it has been rewritten to use websockets instead of standard rest endpoints.
At the moment websockets support is available for Ktor module only.

I've updated the documentation.

You probably need websockets for that, but at the moment there is no support for websockets in KVision.

I guess I could turn this into a feature request if it fits into the KVision plan, otherwise KTor has a websocket functionality that I can use to trigger update requests from the client: https://ktor.io/servers/features/websockets.html
