Howard, do not merge this PR (at least not yet, I want your opinion and I need to finish testing if this goes in main)

This is an implementation of the Alpaca spec on top of the SWS, it implements Telescope, Focuser, Rotator and Observing conditions.
I have done conformance tests only for Observing conditions and Telescope and all basic tests pass.
I have not tested Focuser and rotator as I do not have a controller equipped for those.

I have not been able to run full conformance tests as I have not been able to get a 10.28u to run properly on my mount (I get weird runaways I did not have in 10.25p)

the only issue I have experienced using this code is that it is best to close all browsers using SWS when using Alpaca as some collisions may occur (timeouts in Alpaca). This issue may be the showstopper that makes this whole effort moot, I seem to recall a conversation in the mailing list about how this may just not be possible

In any case whether this is valuable or not there are a few HTTP1.1 compliance bugs that are corrected in this code that may be valuable for the project (see the diffs in src/lib/ethernet/webServer/WebServer.cpp ) as well as an oversight in commands ( see src/libApp/cmd/Cmd.cpp )

Anyway let me know if this is of value to the project.

Maybe the right way to do this is as an alternative to SWS? For the plugin website version I was thinking of making a separate plugin in addition to the adds to Website
