Separate message and packet handling for websockets
Improves the readability of websocket handler code by having two functions: websocket_handle/3 handles the packets received from the socket, removing the tuple construct that was otherwise needed, so only websocket_handle(Data, Req, State) is needed now; websocket_info/3 handles the messages that the websocket handler process received, as websocket_info(Info, Req, State). Both functions return values are handled identically by Cowboy so nothing changes on that end.
