Generic sessions has been overdue some love to align it with
the progress in the rest of lws.
1) Strict Content Security Policy
2) http2 compatibility
3) fixes and additions for use in a separate process via unix domain socket
4) work on ws and http proxying in lws
5) add minimal example
This seen in the wild...

Setting m to 0 by default will prevent "error: ‘m’ may be used uninitialized in this function"

Until now the uv watcher has been composed in the wsi.
This works fine except in the case of a client wsi that
meets a redirect when the event loop is libuv with its
requirement for handle close via the event loop.
We want to reuse the wsi, since the originator of it has
a copy of the wsi pointer, and we want to conceal the
redirect. Since the redirect is commonly to a different
IP, we want to keep the wsi alive while closing its
socket cleanly. That's not too difficult, unless you are
using uv.
With UV the comoposed watcher is a disaster, since after
the close is requested the wsi will start to reconnect.
We tried to deal with that by copying the uv handle and
freeing it when the handle close finalizes. But it turns
out the handle is in a linked-list scheme in uv.
This patch hopefully finally solves it by giving the uv
handle its own allocation from the start. When we want
to close the socket and reuse the wsi, we simply take
responsibility for freeing the handle and set the wsi
watcher pointer to NULL.
During client redirect we "reset" the wsi to the redirect address,
involving closing the current fd that was told to redirect (it will
usually be a completely different server or port).
With libuv and its two-stage close that's not trivial. This solves
the problem we will "reset" (overwrite) where the handle lives in the
wsi with new a new connection / handle by having it copied out into
an allocated watcher struct, which is freed in the uv close callback.
To confirm it the minimal ws client example gets some new options, the
original problem was replicated with this

https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/issues/1390
This adds a plugin that interfaces to libjsongit2
https://warmcat.com/git/libjsongit2
to provide a per-vhost service for presenting bare git repos in a
web interface.
- split raw role into separate skt and file
- remove all special knowledge from the adoption
apis and migrate to core
- remove all special knowledge from client_connect
stuff, and have it discovered by iterating the
role callbacks to let those choose how to bind;
migrate to core
- retire the old deprecated client apis pre-
client_connect_info
