Feature: Threading support #154

@n1474335

Description

@n1474335

Summary

Operations that take a long time to run currently lock up the entire app. It should be possible to run all the operation logic within a separate thread, allowing the user to continue interacting with the app, even if the recipe is still executing. The user should also be able to cancel a bake that is taking too long or has crashed.

Possible solutions

Web Workers provide rudimentary JavaScript threading within browsers. The entire CyberChef core could sit in a Web Worker and communicate with the web app via message passing. As the core has been designed to operate distinctly from the front-end app, this shouldn't be too complex to implement.
