Support Text messages (on top of binary)

[bsergean]

This is partially done. We can send a TEXT message with sendText, but there is no utf-8 validation.

[Dimon4eg]

Why do you want to validate utf-8?

[bsergean]

Quoting the RFC -> https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#page-48

8.1.  Handling Errors in UTF-8-Encoded Data

   When an endpoint is to interpret a byte stream as UTF-8 but finds
   that the byte stream is not, in fact, a valid UTF-8 stream, that
   endpoint MUST _Fail the WebSocket Connection_.  This rule applies
   both during the opening handshake and during subsequent data
   exchange.

[bsergean]

Maybe that only applies to the receiving side, but it sounds well behaves to fail sending something which isn't valid utf-8, however this will have a cost + will add more code to the library.

[Dimon4eg]

I think we can close this issue as text messages are supported.
About UTF-8 validation: we can open dedicated issue for it if needed.
For me it's fine now.
