Fabio Alessandrelli a8950f98dd [WebSocket] Refactor websocket module.
This commit is a huge refactor of the websocket module.
The module is really old, and some design choices had to be
re-evaluated.

The WebSocketClient and WebSocketServer classes are now gone, and
WebSocketPeer can act as either client or server.
The WebSocketMultiplayerPeer class is no longer abstract, and implements
the Multiplayer API on top of the lower level WebSocketPeer.

WebSocketPeer is now a "raw" peer, like StreamPeerTCP and StreamPeerTLS,
so it emits no signal, and just needs polling to update its internal
state.

To use it as a client, simply call WebSocketPeer.coonect_to_url, then
frequently poll the peer until STATE_OPEN is reached and then you can
write or read from it, or STATE_CLOSED and then you can check the
disconnect code and reason).

To implement a server instead, a TCPServer must be created, and the
accepted connections needs to be provided to
WebSocketPeer.accept_stream (which will perform the HTTP handshake).

A full example of a WebSocketServer using TLS will be provided in the
demo repository.

A WebSocket connection.
</brief_description>
<description>
This class represents WebSocket connection, and can be used as a WebSocket client (RFC 6455-compliant) or as a remote peer of a WebSocket server.
You can send WebSocket binary frames using [method PacketPeer.put_packet], and WebSocket text frames using [method send] (prefer text frames when interacting with text-based API). You can check the frame type of the last packet via [method was_string_packet].
To start a WebSocket client, first call [method connect_to_url], then regularly call [method poll] (e.g. during [Node] process). You can query the socket state via [method get_ready_state], get the number of pending packets using [method PacketPeer.get_available_packet_count], and retrieve them via [method PacketPeer.get_packet].

[gdscript]
extends Node
var socket = WebSocketPeer.new()
func _ready():
socket.connect_to_url("wss://example.com")
func _process(delta):
socket.poll()
var state = socket.get_ready_state()
if state == WebSocketPeer.STATE_OPEN:
while socket.get_available_packet_count():
print("Packet: ", socket.get_packet())
elif state == WebSocketPeer.STATE_CLOSING:
# Keep polling to achieve proper close.
pass
elif state == WebSocketPeer.STATE_CLOSED:
var code = socket.get_close_code()
var reason = socket.get_close_reason()
print("WebSocket closed with code: %d, reason %s. Clean: %s" % [code, reason, code != -1])
set_process(false) # Stop processing.
[/gdscript]

To use the peer as part of a WebSocket server refer to [method accept_stream] and the online tutorial.

<methods>
<method name="accept_stream">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="stream" type="StreamPeer" />
<description>
Accepts a peer connection performing the HTTP handshake as a WebSocket server. The [param stream] must be a valid TCP stream retrieved via [method TCPServer.take_connection], or a TLS stream accepted via [method StreamPeerTLS.accept_stream].
[b]Note:[/b] Not supported in Web exports due to browsers' restrictions.
</description>
</method>
<method name="close">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="code" type="int" default="1000" />
<param index="1" name="reason" type="String" default="&quot;&quot;" />
<description>
Closes this WebSocket connection. [param code] is the status code for the closure (see RFC 6455 section 7.4 for a list of valid status codes). [param reason] is the human readable reason for closing the connection (can be any UTF-8 string that's smaller than 123 bytes). If [param code] is negative, the connection will be closed immediately without notifying the remote peer.
[b]Note:[/b] To achieve a clean close, you will need to keep polling until [constant STATE_CLOSED] is reached.
[b]Note:[/b] The Web export might not support all status codes. Please refer to browser-specific documentation for more details.

</method>
<method name="connect_to_url">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="url" type="String" />
<param index="1" name="verify_tls" type="bool" default="true" />
<param index="2" name="trusted_tls_certificate" type="X509Certificate" default="null" />
<description>
Connects to the given URL. If [param verify_tls] is [code]false[/code] certificate validation will be disabled. If specified, the [param trusted_tls_certificate] will be the only one accepted when connecting to a TLS host.
[b]Note:[/b] To avoid mixed content warnings or errors in Web, you may have to use a [code]url[/code] that starts with [code]wss://[/code] (secure) instead of [code]ws://[/code]. When doing so, make sure to use the fully qualified domain name that matches the one defined in the server's TLS certificate. Do not connect directly via the IP address for [code]wss://[/code] connections, as it won't match with the TLS certificate.
