/**
* This class provides a way for Java to run JavaScript in the web page that has loaded PhoneGap.
* The CallbackServer class implements an XHR server and a polling server with a list of JavaScript
* statements that are to be executed on the web page.
*
* The process flow for XHR is:
* 1. JavaScript makes an async XHR call.
* 2. The server holds the connection open until data is available.
* 3. The server writes the data to the client and closes the connection.
* 4. The server immediately starts listening for the next XHR call.
* 5. The client receives this XHR response, processes it.
* 6. The client sends a new async XHR request.
*
* The CallbackServer class requires the following permission in Android manifest file
*
*
* If the device has a proxy set, then XHR cannot be used, so polling must be used instead.
* This can be determined by the client by calling CallbackServer.usePolling().
*
* The process flow for polling is:
* 1. The client calls CallbackServer.getJavascript() to retrieve next statement.
* 2. If statement available, then client processes it.
* 3. The client repeats #1 in loop.
