Voice Intercom Websockets

Creates a voice intercom (aka Walkie Talkie) via a webpage.

The interface is served up as a single page of HTML/CSS/JS in the template node on /intercom

This then connects to a websocket on /socket which takes care of managing the session ids to send any binary messages to all other connected clients but not to yourself.

The page uses the getUserMedia functions of WebRTC to access the microphone and then when the Talk button is held it sends 640byte audio frames over the websocket.

When the page recieves audo frames on its socket it plays them via the speaker.

Because this page uses microphone access it will only work if served over https (or from localhost) The ngrok node is an easy way to get an https url for NodeRED.

This has not been built to be particularly scalable or private its mostly for novelty purposes or as a base to build from.
