Gina Häußge fb5aaffdc1 Added a "fake ack" button to terminal tab, as counter measure for lost "ok"s
In case an ok gets lost on the line, this allows to have the communication between
OctoPrint and the printer take up again.

Get connection settings
=======================
.. http:get:: /api/connection
Retrieve the current connection settings, including information regarding the available baudrates and
serial ports and the current connection state.
**Example**
.. sourcecode:: http
GET /api/connection HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
X-Api-Key: abcdef...
.. sourcecode:: http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

.. _sec-api-connection-command:
Issue a connection command
==========================
.. http:post:: /api/connection
Issue a connection command. Currently available command are:
connect
Instructs OctoPrint to connect to the printer. Additional parameters are:
* ``port``: Optional, specific port to connect to. If not set the current ``portPreference`` will be used, or if
no preference is available auto detection will be attempted.
* ``baudrate``: Optional, specific baudrate to connect with. If not set the current ``baudratePreference`` will
be used, or if no preference is available auto detection will be attempted.
* ``printerProfile`` Optional, specific printer profile to use for connection. If not set the current default printer
profile will be used.
* ``save``: Optional, whether to save the request's ``port`` and ``baudrate`` settings as new preferences. Defaults
to ``false`` if not set.
* ``autoconnect``: Optional, whether to automatically connect to the printer on OctoPrint's startup in the future.
If not set no changes will be made to the current configuration.
disconnect
Instructs OctoPrint to disconnect from the printer.
fake_ack
Fakes an acknowledgement message for OctoPrint in case one got lost on the serial line and the communication
with the printer since stalled. This should only be used in "emergencies" (e.g. to save prints), the reason
for the lost acknowledgement should always be properly investigated and removed instead of depending on this
"symptom solver".
