Open computers from the chat, let bots ask for a take-over, show task progress

- Serve each computer to its owner under /computers/<id>/ (HTTP and
  websockets proxied to the AIO sandbox) and show it in a shared
  ComputerView with browser, terminal and code modes, opened from the
  computers modal or a take-over button in the thread.
- ask_user_to_take_over lets a bot hand a computer to the user for a
  login or captcha; the message gets a take-over button and needs-you,
  and the viewer hands it back with a chat message.
- While a task runs the thread shows "<bot> is working..." with the
  task's latest step; steps read as plain words, not tool names.
- A coordinator with no workers no longer claims to delegate, and bots
  describe started tasks in the first person.
