Implement networking API's for SimConnect & WASM gauges

Currently, the only way to communicate with the internet in the sim is via JavaScript gauges and the JavaScript fetch() and XMLHttpRequest() calls. Although we have no need for it, I'm sure many other third party developers would appreciate the ability to make network calls from WASM gauges.

Hello.

This is still work in progress as we speak.
Too early to tell when it will be released.

Regards,
Sylvain
