* Fix typescript generation

* Release v1.0.2-pre7

* 316-multi-bridge-conn (#317)

* [316-multi-bridge-conn] feat: use callback func for bridge response

* [316-multi-bridge-conn] feat: implement multiple session support

* split client handling portion into 'session'
* keep track of sessions by remote address (ip & port)
* notify each of the sessions anytime an event comes across the bus

* [316-multi-bridge-conn] chore: move bridge files to package

* [316-multi-bridge-conn] chore: remove deprecated Callback function

The Callback function is no longer needed for the operation of
the frontend callback since the ipc.Dispatch function now requires
a callback function to be provided as an argument.
This function can be a private function since it is passed by reference.

* [316-multi-bridge-conn] chore: make webview.Callback private

* [316-multi-bridge-conn] chore: remove unused injectCSS function

I believe a slightly better method of doing this might need to be devised
if it is needed in the future. I presume it should collect the values
into a cache and then inject it into each sesssion as it appears.

* [316-multi-bridge-conn] ensure wails:ready event is emitted

Event is only emitted for the first session created from the Bridge.

* [316-multi-bridge-conn] emit events for session lifecycle

Emit an event for each session started and ended.

* [316-multi-bridge-conn] fix: session handling fixes

Co-authored-by: Lea Anthony <lea.anthony@gmail.com>

* Release v1.0.2-pre8

* Release v1.0.2
