Plugin - Server Sent Events

[canny]

The SSE protocol has a slightly peculiar format and can't be easily tested with Pact today - whilst the protocol is text based, Pact doesn't understand the various tokens and therefore payloads would currently require exact matching, which is rather brittle.
SSE could be developed as a Content Matcher plugin and optionally a transport (the Asynchronous message type could easily model this interaction without a transport if needed)
