Centrifuge broadcaster for laravel 5

Attention! Maybe some diff with IRL.

1. This package forked from "LaraComponents" to fit new Centrifugo v2.
2. Drop Redis support (v2 don't support it), see official migration guide.
3. Update generateToken(user id, timestamp, info) method (v2 uses only jwt auth workflow).
