Generic-table JSON

Column layout

When the ws connection is established, the protocol should send a JSON message describing the table columns. For example

 msg = "{\"cols\":["
       "  {\"name\": \"Date\"},"
       "  {\"name\": \"Size\", \"align\": \"right\"},"
       "  {\"name\": \"Icon\"},"
       "  {\"name\": \"Name\", \"href\": \"uri\"},"
       "  {\"name\": \"uri\", \"hide\": \"1\" }"
       " ]"
       "}";

This describes 5 columns
Only four columns (not "uri") should be visible
"Name" should be presented as a clickable link using "uri" as the destination, when a "uri" field is presented.
"Size" field should be presented aligned to the right
