Threaded HTTP server

Most code doesn't need to use this directly; instead use library(http/http_server), which combines this library with the typical HTTP libraries that most servers need.

This library defines the HTTP server frontend of choice for SWI-Prolog. It is based on the multi-threading capabilities of SWI-Prolog and thus exploits multiple cores to serve requests concurrently. The server scales well and can cooperate with library(thread_pool) to control the number of concurrent requests of a given type. For example, it can be configured to handle 200 file download requests concurrently, 2 requests that potentially uses a lot of memory and 8 requests that use a lot of CPU resources.

On Unix systems, this library can be combined with library(http/http_unix_daemon) to realise a proper Unix service process that creates a web server at port 80, runs under a specific account, optionally detaches from the controlling terminal, etc.

Combined with library(http/http_ssl_plugin) from the SSL package, this library can be used to create an HTTPS server. See <plbase>/doc/packages/examples/ssl/https for an example server using a self-signed SSL certificate. */

 http_server(:Goal, :Options) is det
Create a server at Port that calls Goal for each parsed request. Options provide a list of options. Defined options are
port(?Address)
Port to bind to. Address is either a port or a term Host:Port. The port may be a variable, causing the system to select a free port. See tcp_bind/2.
unix_socket(+Path)
Instead of binding to a TCP port, bind to a Unix Domain Socket at Path.
entry_page(+URI)
Affects the message printed while the server is started. Interpreted as a URI relative to the server root.
tcp_socket(+Socket)
If provided, use this socket instead of the creating one and binding it to an address. The socket must be bound to an address.
workers(+Count)
Determine the number of worker threads. Default is 5. This is fine for small scale usage. Public servers typically need a higher number.
timeout(+Seconds)
Maximum time of inactivity trying to read the request after a connection has been opened. Default is 60 seconds. See set_stream/1 using the timeout option.
keep_alive_timeout(+Seconds)
Time to keep `Keep alive' connections alive. Default is 2 seconds.
stack_limit(+Bytes)
Stack limit to use for the workers. The default is inherited from the main thread. If you need to control resource usage you may consider the spawn option of http_handler/3 and library(thread_pool).
silent(Bool)
If true (default false), do not print an informational message that the server was started.

A typical initialization for an HTTP server that uses http_dispatch/1 to relay requests to predicates is:

:- use_module(library(http/thread_httpd)).
:- use_module(library(http/http_dispatch)).

start_server(Port) :-
    http_server(http_dispatch, [port(Port)]).

Note that multiple servers can coexist in the same Prolog process. A notable application of this is to have both an HTTP and HTTPS server, where the HTTP server redirects to the HTTPS server for handling sensitive requests.

 http:schedule_workers(+Data:dict) is semidet
Hook called if a new connection or a keep-alive connection cannot be scheduled immediately to a worker. Dict contains the following keys:
port:Port
Port number that identifies the server.
reason:Reason
One of accept for a new connection or keep_alive if a worker tries to reschedule itself.
peer:Peer
Identify the other end of the connection
waiting:Size
Number of messages waiting in the queue.
queue:Queue
Message queue used to dispatch accepted messages.

Note that, when called with reason:accept, we are called in the time critical main accept loop. An implementation of this hook shall typically send the event to thread dedicated to dynamic worker-pool management.

Deal with the possibility that threads are, during development, killed with abort/0. We recreate the worker to avoid that eventually we run out of workers. If we are aborted due to a halt/0 call, thread_create/3 will raise a permission error.

The first clause deals with the possibility that we cannot write to user_error. This is possible when Prolog is started as a service using some service managers. Would be nice if we could write an error, but where?

Implement Modified Moving Average computing the average time between requests as an exponential moving averate with alpha=1/N.
Arguments:
Resolution- is the time resolution in 1/Resolution seconds. All storage is done in integers to avoid the need for stack freezing in nb_setarg/3.
