In the future we will need to use GraphQL subscriptions. This is done
via websockets and is supported in Ariadne. However this support is
limited to ASGI frameworks, which Flask isn't a part of.
Startlette is a direct depencency of Ariadne, and all of Ariadne's
features are fully integrated with Starlette, so the switch allows to
drop some Flask integration cruft and streamline the revng.daemon
package.
Starlette does not have a built-in development server, instead
Hypercorn, which is an ASGI-compliant HTTP server, is used in place of
Flask's Werkzeug/Gunicorn for both the development and production
server roles.
This commit introduces the `revng.daemon` Python module, a Flask-powered
web application that exposes the functionality from `revng.api` across a
GraphQL API
