Read-only mode for Wonderland

[mikev]

Management has made a request to configure a read-only mode for the Wonderland GUI web interface.

We use the RESTful interface to make updates for our deployment scripts. Likewise Wonderland is very useful to look at the state of VHosts and queues.

But, since there is no authentication, people are concerned that either a malicious or even a casual browser might not understand that 'delete' user x or 'delete' vhost y is not a good idea. Although the action is logged it could still cause a lot of havoc, especially since the configuration is not backed up.

Therefore, it would be useful to be able to start Wonderland in a read-only mode. In this mode, updates such as delete, would not be allowed.

This is a good idea...
