Centrally store and show client information

Registered by Dan Garner

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "Client Timeout should be a config step" for updated plans.

XMDS should have a method for receiving a set of information from each client describing key facts and figures about that client.

Such information would include:
- Client IP address
- Client Version (the client knows its version in 1.0.5 onwards)

Such information would not include:
- Any current settings (these will eventually be pushed from the server: see https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xibo/+spec/client-settings-central)

See whiteboard for additional suggestions

Whiteboard

We will need to decide if this is something we can put in the 1.0.5 release.

There will be a new method to XMDS
A new call in the client (on a new timer? Or at the end of the current cycle)
New fields in the display management grid.
