Jupyter: Hook ERP5 Kernel

ERP5 kernel basic info/workflow:

1. User enters code on notebook cell and executes
2. Code is sent to kernel via websockets
3. Kernel sends request to ERP5
4. Code is executed by ERP5 and the result is returned back via request.
5. Result is received and rendered on the notebook frontend.
6. Other message formats such as error and status are also conveyed by the Kernel.

[ kirr: in IPython notebook speak kernel is something that allows IPython
  notebook server side to talk to execution backend. ERP5 kernel is a thing that
  allows ipython notbook to talk to ERP5 (with help on-ERP5-server special bt5
  installed which accepts and executes commands).

  The bt5 to handle notebook calls on ERP5 side - erp5-data-notebook - is
  proposed to be merged into erp5.git on erp5!29 ]

+ * mainly to be overridden in profile/static/custom/custom.js
+ * This will always be an empty file in IPython
+ *
+ * User could add any javascript in the `profile/static/custom/custom.js` file.
+ * It will be executed by the ipython notebook at load time.
+ *
+ * Same thing with `profile/static/custom/custom.css` to inject custom css into the notebook.
+ *
+ *
+ * The object available at load time depend on the version of IPython in use.
+ * there is no guaranties of API stability.
+ *
+ * The example below explain the principle, and might not be valid.
+ *
+ * Instances are created after the loading of this file and might need to be accessed using events:

+ *             IPython.keyboard_manager....
+ *         });
+ *     });
+ *
+ * __Example 1:__
+ *
+ * Create a custom button in toolbar that execute `%qtconsole` in kernel
+ * and hence open a qtconsole attached to the same kernel as the current notebook
+ *
