/*
Listens for incoming postMessage requests from embedded widgets. The following API is exposed:
{
    widgetData: {
        action: "content_loaded"
        // additional request fields
    },
    widgetId: $WIDGET_ID
}

The complete request object is returned to the caller with an additional "response" key like so:
{
    widgetData: {
        action: "content_loaded"
        // additional request fields
    },
    widgetId: $WIDGET_ID
    response: { ... }
}

The "action" determines the format of the request and response. All actions can return an error response.
An error response is a "response" object which consists of a sole "error" key to indicate an error.
They look like:
{
    error: {
        message: "Unable to invite user into room.",
        _error: <Original Error Object>
    }
}
The "message" key should be a human-friendly string.

ACTIONS
=======
All actions can return an error response instead of the response outlined below.

content_loaded
--------------
Indicates that widget contet has fully loaded

Request:
 - widgetId is the unique ID of the widget instance in riot / matrix state.
 - No additional fields.
Response:
{
    success: true
}
Example:
{
    widgetData: {
        action: "content_loaded"
    },
    widgetId: $WIDGET_ID
}
