[Feature] Websockets support for remote control (pro features)

[estruyf]

Feature Request:

Enable websocket support for remote control functionality, available to Pro users.

Summary:
Pro users should be able to open a websocket connection to the demo time extension/website to utilize remote control features. This would allow external applications or separate browser windows to send commands or interact live with a presentation or demo session.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Websocket server is available for authenticated Pro users
• Remote control commands (next step, previous, play/pause, jump, etc.) can be sent over the websocket
• Connection is secure and scoped to user's session
• Documentation on establishing a connection and supported command types

Additional Context:

• Intended for advanced scenarios: co-presenting, remote assistant tooling, or mobile navigation
• Only available to Pro users
• Might require new API endpoints or authentication flows for websocket communication
