fix#1245, fix#1249
The value used to fill the incomplete code point buffer is
changed to a character which no longer causes
utf8_checker::valid() to incorrectly return false.
This resolves a medium vulnerability described in the
Beast Hybrid Assessment Report by Bishop Fox, where masks generated
for use with outgoing WebSocket client frames use an insufficient
source of entropy and a non-cryptographically secure pseudo-random
number generator.
By default, all newly constructed WebSocket streams will use a
uniquely seeded secure PRNG (ChaCha20 in counter mode). As this may
result in increased CPU resource consumption, the function
websocket::stream::secure_prng() may be used to select a faster but
less secure PRNG, for the case where the caller knows that the secure
generator is not necessary.
On some systems, std::random_device may produce insufficient entropy
to securely seed the PRNG. As this condition cannot be detected by
Beast, callers may use the function websocket::seed_prng() called
once at startup to provide at least 256 bits of entropy which will
be used to uniquely seed all subsequent PRNGs.
fix#1076
As per Asio and Networking TS requirements, composed operations must
maintain an object of type executor_work_guard for the executor associated
with the I/O object, for the lifetime of the asynchronous operation.
This is in addition to the requirement for maintaining an object of type
executor_work_guard for the executor associated with the handler.
fix#941, fix#1016
`get_lowest_layer` is now a type alias for the
lowest layer instead of a struct with a nested type.
Actions required:
* Replace instances of `typename get_lowest_layer<T>::type`
with `get_lowest_layer<T>`.
fix#949
* New error codes are introduced for WebSocket failures
* More verbose messages for error codes
* Error codes are mapped to conditions for ease of testing
* error::failed and error::handshake_failed are deprecated (don't use)
Actions Required:
* Code which explicitly compares error_code values against the
constant `websocket::error::handshake_failed` should compare
against `websocket::condition::handshake_failed` instead.
* Code which explicitly compares error_code values against the
constant `websocket::error::failed` should compare
against `websocket::condition::protocol_violation` instead.
fix#849
This adds an additional `bool` template parameter to
`websocket::stream`:
* When deflateSupported is `true`, the stream will be capable
of negotiating the permessage-deflate websocket extension per
the configured run-time settings.
* When deflateSupported is `false`, the stream will never negotiate
the permessage-deflate websocket extension. Furthermore, all of the
code necessary for implementing the permessage-deflate extension
will be excluded from function instantiations. The resulting emitted
object code should be smaller.
Split the websocket read test to reduce compile time memory usage
by a small amount, which ought to be enough to let it compile in
a constrained environment like Travis.

* The handler_ptr constructor now provides the
strong exception guarantee.
* The signature for managed objects constructed by
`handler_ptr` receives a const reference to the handler.
Actions required:
* Change the constructor signature for state objects
used with handler_ptr to receive a const reference to
the handler.
This fixes a problem where an assert is generated or an
error is ignored when an invalid deflate stream is produced
after appending the final empty deflate block.
The function stream::control_callback now copies or moves
the callback. In some cases this may require a dynamic
allocation.
To avoid the possibility of a dynamic allocation, callers
may wrap their callback using `std::ref` before setting it.
