Q. Why do a chatroom in C++ instead of C#?
A. Because C# has a "stop the world" garbage collector.
Q. Is this application multithreaded?
A. Yes. There are two threads. One sending and receiving messages
from a queue when clients are available and one thread processing messages.
Because only one thread is processing messages, no locking is needed.
websocket is a chatroom websocket server.
Written in C++ using libwebsockets:
https://libwebsockets.org/lws-api-doc-master/html/md_READMEs_README_8coding.html
websocket Port ServerPassword
starts the websocket server listening to Port.
ServerPassword is the password to edit users/chatrooms.
websocket test classname
Runs the test for classname.
websocket test testnumber
testnumber can be from 1 to 5
websocket test all
Runs all the tests.
Clients connect and send commands to the server. The server sends commands back.
Commands consist of the command name then a ( then parameters then )
Numbers are sent comma delimited.
Examples: 3,12,16
Strings are sent with the length in base 10 then a comma then the text.
There's no comma after the text because the length is already known.
Examples: 4,test6,client
messageid is a unique number the client sends with each message.
The messageid if the server response will match the messageid of the client.
If a message comes from another client, that messageid won't match
because each client assigns its own message id.
Commands the client send to the server:
sendtoall(server_password,messageid,message)
Returns success(messageid) or error(message,messageid).

If user isn't logged in, userid = 0 and username is blank.
