When running `embark blockchain` followed by `embark run` previously, logs generated in the standalone `embark blockchain` process were black boxed and not accessible to the main Embark process.
This is fixed by creating a client IPC connection in the `embark blockchain` process that connects to the IPC server connection running in `embark run`. The connection is made by way of polling `ipc.connect` and continues polling even after a connection is made in case `embark run` is killed and restarted without restarting `embark blockchain`.
`LogHandler` was introduced to extrapolate functionality used in `ProcessLauncher` that needed to also be used in the standalone blockchain process. It also caps the number of logs that are stored in memory per process by a constant value defined in `constants.json`.
A `blockchain_listener` was module was created (and run inside of `embark run`) that listens for logs emitted by the `embark blockchain` client IPC and runs them through the `LogHandler`. Additionally, this module registers the API endpoints needed to handle requests for blockchain process logs in the cockpit (which were 404’ing before).

Data send from the client with GET parameters are serialized in the
request body's `params` property. As express doesn't seem to parse
those, we have to do it manually to perform object property traversals.
The authenticators request hash algorithm produced different hashes than
on the client, because client-side hash-request don't include the query
parameters of a URL.
This causes authentication issues when sending any requests with query
parameters. This commit ensures we ignore them on the server as well.
As it turns out, a websocket request doesn't contain some of the
hashable properties in order to be validated. Because of that, we'll
still use tokens here until we find a better way to do it.
Instead, we want to hash a header to sign a request with a client nonce,
http method and URL. This is a first step towards protecting the backend
against eavesdropping.
Please note that this will still be susceptible to replay attacks.
