Improvements of "gf -server" mode and related setup

"gf -server" mode now contains everything needed to run the minibar and
the grammar editor (including example-based grammar writing).

The Setup.hs script installs the required files where gf -server can find them.
These files have been moved to a new directory: src/www.

The separate server program pgf-http is now obsolete.

<h1>GF web services API examples</h1>
GF can be used interactively from the GF Shell. Some of the functionality
availiable in the GF shell is also available via the GF web services API.
<p>
The
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/grammatical-framework/wiki/GFWebServiceAPI">GF
Web Service API page</a> describes the calls supported by the GF web service
API. Below, we illustrate these calls by examples, and also show
how to make these calls from JavaScript using the API defined in
<a href="pgf_online.js"><code>pgf_online.js</code></a>.
<p>
<strong>Note</strong> that <code>pgf_online.js</code> was initially developed
with one particular web application in mind (the minibar), so the server API was
incomplete. It was simplified and generalized in August 2011 to support the
full API.
<dl>
<dt class=js>These boxes show what the calls look like in the JavaScript
API defined in <code>pgf_online.js</code>.
<dt>These boxes show the corresponding URLs sent to the PGF server.
<dd>These boxes show the JSON (JavaScript data structures) returned by the PGF
server. This will be passed to the callback function supplied in the
call.
</dl>
<h2>Initialization</h2>
<dl class=apiexamples>
<dt class=js>
<em>// Select which server and grammars to use:</em>
<br>var server_options = {
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;grammars_url: "http://www.grammaticalframework.org/grammars/",
