Support passing access tokens via Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header
Previously, the access token needed to be passed via the query string;
with this commit, the token can be passed *either* through the query
string or the Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header.
This was done to correspond to the changes made to the streaming.js
version in [Improve streaming server security](mastodon/mastodon#10818).
However, I am not sure that it *does* increase security; as explained
at <https://support.ably.io/support/solutions/articles/3000075120-is-it-secure-to-send-the-access-token-as-part-of-the-websocket-url-query-params->,
there is generally no security advantage to passing sensitive information
via websocket headers instead of the query string—the entire connection
is encrypted and is not stored in the browser history, so the typical
reasons to keep sensitive info out of the query string don't apply.
I would welcome any corrections on this/reasons this change improves
