WebSocket routing

New methods page.route_web_socket() and browser_context.route_web_socket() allow to intercept, modify and mock WebSocket connections initiated in the page. Below is a simple example that mocks WebSocket communication by responding to a "request" with a "response".

def message_handler(ws: WebSocketRoute, message: Union[str, bytes]):
  if message == "request":
    ws.send("response")

page.route_web_socket("/ws", lambda ws: ws.on_message(
    lambda message: message_handler(ws, message)
))

See WebSocketRoute for more details.
