websockets: remodeled API to support 63 bit frame sizes
curl_ws_recv() now receives data to fill up the provided buffer, but can
return a partial fragment. The function now also get a pointer to a
curl_ws_frame struct with metadata that also mentions the offset and
total size of the fragment (of which you might be receiving a smaller
piece). This way, large incoming fragments will be "streamed" to the
application. When the curl_ws_frame struct field 'bytesleft' is 0, the
final fragment piece has been delivered.

curl_ws_recv() was also adjusted to work with a buffer size smaller than
the fragment size. (Possibly needless to say as the fragment size can
now be 63 bit large).

curl_ws_send() now supports sending a piece of a fragment, in a
streaming manner, in addition to sending the entire fragment in a single
call if it is small enough. To send a huge fragment, curl_ws_send() can
be used to send it in many small calls by first telling libcurl about
the total expected fragment size, and then send the payload in N number
of separate invokes and libcurl will stream those over the wire.

The struct curl_ws_meta() returns is now called 'curl_ws_frame' and it
has been extended with two new fields: *offset* and *bytesleft*. To help
describe the passed on data chunk when a fragment is delivered in many
smaller pieces.

The documentation has been updated accordingly.

docs: use "WebSocket" in singular
This is how the RFC calls the protocol. Also rename the file in docs/ to
WEBSOCKET.md in uppercase to match how we have done it for many other
protocol docs in similar fashion.

Add the WebSocket docs to the tarball.
