[vtkusers] vtkWeb - callback when the client disconnects (on reload)

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Separate client mean for me different people. And if collaboration is not
involved, then each person should have its own process.

For your use case, it seems that's the same person that open several tabs
but connect to the same process which is totally fine.

Which mean in your use case, on the "unload" of your tab (js side), you
should have a callback that will let the server know which view should be
removed assuming that: "a view from one tab is not used in another tab".
