Allow users to simulate the effect of the script without actually updating the lights (for debugging).

Implementation proposal:

Browser sends a flag with the POST request, then opens a websocket to the Python script
manager.py sends the light numbers and positions over the websocket
light.py sends the new RGB values over the websocket instead of Bluetooth
Browser receives RGB values and displays them

Potential complications:

Simulation should be scalable - browser should be able to render a non-static lighting configuration
Websocket to remote server instead of localhost could cause problems
Lights might have inaccurate color reproduction (e.g. 0xFFFFFF currently has a pink hue on all the lights)
- Should we correct for this? How? In light.py, the browser, or the lights themselves?
