Fix some links and add Ranch 1.4 docs
They were mistakenly labeled as 1.3. Sorry!

+<div class="paragraph"><p>All protocol handlers must implement the <code>ranch_protocol</code> behavior
+which defines a single callback, <code>start_link/4</code>. This callback is
+responsible for spawning a new process for handling the connection.
+It receives four arguments: the name of the listener, the socket, the
+transport handler being used and the protocol options defined in
+the call to <code>ranch:start_listener/5</code>. This callback must
+return <code>{ok, Pid}</code>, with <code>Pid</code> the pid of the new process.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The newly started process can then freely initialize itself. However,
+it must call <code>ranch:accept_ack/1</code> before doing any socket operation.
+This will ensure the connection process is the owner of the socket.
+It expects the listener&#8217;s name as argument.</p></div>
