async initiating functions must return init.result.get(). Returning the
result of post caused a compilation failure for custom completion tokens.

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#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.
fix#769
The following classes are removed:
* handler_type
* async_result
* async_completion
* is_dynamic_buffer
* is_const_buffer_sequence
* is_mutable_buffer_sequence
* handler_alloc
Actions Required:
* Use BOOST_ASIO_HANDLER_TYPE instead of handler_type
* Use BOOST_ASIO_INITFN_RESULT_TYPE instead of async_result
* Use boost::asio::async_completion
* Use boost::asio::is_dynamic_buffer
* Use boost::asio::is_const_buffer_sequence
* Use boost::asio::is_mutable_buffer_sequence
* boost::asio::associated_allocator_t replaces handler_alloc
fix#773
* buffer_cat is renamed to buffers_cat
* buffer_cat_view is renamed to buffers_cat_view
Actions Required:
* Use buffers_cat instead of buffer_cat
* Use buffers_cat_view instead of buffer_cat_view
fix#773
* buffer_prefix is renamed to buffers_prefix
* buffer_prefix_view is renamed to buffers_prefix_view
Actions Required:
* Use buffers_prefix instead of buffer_prefix
* Use buffers_prefix_view instead of buffer_prefix_view
* Stream write operations now return the number of bytes
transferred from the caller's input buffers.
Actions Required:
* Modify websocket write completion handlers to receive
the extra std::size_t bytes_transferred parameter.
