Package rpc uses cgo to find the maximum UNIX domain socket path
length. If exceeded, a warning is printed. This is the only use of cgo in this
package. It seems excessive to depend on cgo just for this warning, so
we now hard-code the usual limit for Linux instead.

This change fixes a minor flaw in the check for ipc endpoint length. The max_path_size is the max path that an ipc endpoint can have, which is 208. However, that size concerns the null-terminated pathname, so we need to account for an extra null-character too.
* rpc: implement websockets with github.com/gorilla/websocket
This change makes package rpc use the github.com/gorilla/websocket
package for WebSockets instead of golang.org/x/net/websocket. The new
library is more robust and supports all WebSocket features including
continuation frames.
There are new tests for two issues with the previously-used library:
- TestWebsocketClientPing checks handling of Ping frames.
- TestWebsocketLargeCall checks whether the request size limit is
applied correctly.
* rpc: raise HTTP/WebSocket request size limit to 5MB
* rpc: remove default origin for client connections
The client used to put the local hostname into the Origin header because
the server wanted an origin to accept the connection, but that's silly:
Origin is for browsers/websites. The nobody would whitelist a particular
hostname.
Now that the server doesn't need Origin anymore, don't bother setting
one for clients. Users who need an origin can use DialWebsocket to
create a client with arbitrary origin if needed.
* vendor: put golang.org/x/net/websocket back
* rpc: don't set Origin header for empty (default) origin
* rpc: add HTTP status code to handshake error
This makes it easier to debug failing connections.
* ethstats: use github.com/gorilla/websocket
* rpc: fix lint
There is no need to depend on the old context package now that the
minimum Go version is 1.7. The move to "context" eliminates our weird
vendoring setup. Some vendored code still uses golang.org/x/net/context
and it is now vendored in the normal way.
This change triggered new vet checks around context.WithTimeout which
didn't fire with golang.org/x/net/context.
