Create the route '/collaboration/poll/' to interact with the hocus pocus-server from a http request. It will be used to poll the server for changes in the collaboration document.
We add the routes "/collaboration/poll/" to the nginx configuration file to allow the frontend to poll the server for changes in the document. We updated the useCollaborationUrl hook to return the new route.
When the websocket cannot connect, after a certain amount of retry, the system will fallback to long polling to keep the document sync. If the websocket is connected, the system will automatically switch back to websocket and stop long polling.

Purpose
Some users have their websockets blocked, so they cannot collaborate.
If they are connected with other collaborators at the same time, it will create constant conflict in the document.
Proposal
We will use the long polling as a fallback when the websocket is not able to connect.
