Add a commands-based interface to Websocket handlers

This feature is currently experimental. It will become the
preferred way to use Websocket handlers once it becomes
documented.

A commands-based interface enables adding commands without
having to change the interface much. It mirrors the interface
of stream handlers or gen_statem. It will enable adding
commands that have been needed for some time but were not
implemented for fear of making the interface too complex.
