make webui work with non-root context path (#1290)

[altaroca]

See explanation in in the issue openhab/openhab-webui#1290

things to consider:

• testing for this will be difficult as it changes some logic at the heart of the ui.
• testing needed for different browsers, uis, mobile apps. I have only used the main ui in chrome.
• rest oauth will not work at non-root url. disable using console> bundle:stop org.openhab.core.io.rest.auth
• this does not fix all absolute urls in the uis. Apache2 reverse proxy as in openhab/openhab-core#150 can take care of many of those
• in time it would probably be good to fix all urls

Hi @altaroca, FYI: I started looking into this and thank's to your work I really think this is doable (wouldn't have thought so a short while ago)! I refined and simplified a few things regarding the UI and will continue trying to solve open issues.

Great! I am happy if you think this works. As for merging I leave it up to you @ghys if you want to merge it as is or wait for a more complete solution by @hubsif. In any case I sign over any copyright I may own on this PR to you. You don't have to mention me. Too much paperwork 😃

Closing as this went stale.
