GetSocket has no way to set Headers

[khuntia]

Under the basewebsocket, for getsocket, we only have provision to pass the url of the socket,
not additional headers. This makes it restrictive as I cant pass authentication headers or other oauth
headers when connecting to the backend. Please add provision for passing headers as well

//this is how it is right now
socket = WebSocket(url);

//Rather we do WebSocket(url, Map headers)

GetConnect is multiplatform, it is not possible to set headers on the web, I do not know if we should provide this only for the desktop, but we can do this, so I am moving this to discussions

I looked at this https://pub.dev/documentation/web_socket_channel/latest/web_socket_channel/WebSocketChannel-class.html
I found they have static signKey method you can use to sign up a security header.
It could be like:

final socket = GetSocket(url);
if (!platfrom.isWeb) {
   socket.signKey('aabbcc123');
}

I'd read RFC6455, it says:

12. The request MAY include any other header fields, for example,
    cookies [RFC6265] and/or authentication-related header fields
    such as the |Authorization| header field [RFC2616], which are
    processed according to documents that define them.

So i don't know why there is a compatibility issue.
