web playground

[Geal]

it could be interesting to provide a web playground like https://play-with-biscuit.cleverapps.io/ from the CLI

The idea would be to set up a small local web server (with rouille or something else) that loads a token passed as argument, to experiment with it

about the overhead, currently the CLI is about 7.1MB in release, and it gets to 7.6MB with rouille. And the playground code is around 1.4MB (most of it being the wasm file)

ah great, the size increase is reasonable then (else we could have a feature flag, but here it's not necessary here, i think).

It could be a new command like biscuit playground [--port PORT] and all the biscuit inspect options (with an automatically chosen port if an explicit port is omitted). I think an input field for biscuit is missing from the existing playground, but having a way to provide it from the CLI is already useful)

now that https://biscuitsec.org provides a series of tools, i'm not sure how valuable having all this in the CLI would be. The only benefit would be to be able to use it with no Internet connection
