Use rosbridge websocket for dashboard?

The current dashboard uses a custom websocket bridge I wrote which has a hardcoded list of topics to forward to the browser. This has the advantage that I know exactly how it works, but that's only an advantage while I'm around.

Rosbridge & roslibjs looks like an officially supported way to do similar things. In this, the Javascript can decide which topics it subscribes to. (Though this may have security implications, if the JS can do any ROS operation).
