Provide an HTTP based job tracking endpoint about cook HOT 3 CLOSED

So, I'd like to make this query one which can be answered through an external DB, like the SQLite DB I want to attach to the gRPC-based transport. I think that rich, programmatic API (as client libs) are a better bet than trying to go full HTTP REST.

Being able to 'curl' the status of a job, without having to find and deploy a client side library is a huge upside and will make it much easier for us to adopt this API. That said, i'm not against rich programmatic APIs that can be fronted by a simple HTTP service for a subset of operations.

The fastest path to something people can use is to just expose a new rest endpoint that either runs the query or answers from a cache if this query is too expensive. Keeping another DB in sync with datomic sounds like a longer project but probably one worth getting to eventually.

@tnn1t1s can you sketch out what would be a useful interface?
