Add in an HTTP API call to send a custom message type.

You cannot currently send any data with your custom message, but
this patch is just begging for a second one that will allow that.

+/**
+sendClientsMessage(padID, msg) sends a message to all clients connected to the
+pad, possibly for the purpose of signalling a plugin.
+
+Note, this will only accept strings from the HTTP API, so sending bogus changes
+or chat messages will probably not be possible.
+
+The resulting message will be structured like so:
+
+{
+  type: 'COLLABROOM',
+  data: {
+    type: <msg>,
+    time: <time the message was sent>
+  }
+}
+
+Example returns:
+
+{code: 0, message:"ok"}
+{code: 1, message:"padID does not exist"}
