Efl_Future actually work with weak reference. So you do not need to
set things to NULL, but you actually need to register the memory location
of the future with efl_future_use.
both resolve (getaddrinfo()) and connect() are now done in
Ecore_Thread, avoid to block the main loop.
My plan is to always use the threaded connect() using a blocking
socket, only set it to non-blocking after the socket is returned to
the main thread and before it's accessible to the user. It will make
the connect behavior more uniform.
Some errors were moved from HTTP to Dialer as they are more generic.
It has been discussed on the ML (thread: "[RFC] rename efl_self") and
IRC, and has been decided we should rename it to this in order to avoid
confusion with the already established meaning of self which is very
similar to what we were using it for, but didn't have complete overlap.
Kudos to Marcel Hollerbach for initiating the discussion and
fighting for it until he convinced a significant mass. :)
This commit breaks API, and depending on compiler potentially ABI.

The Efl.Net.Dialer.Websocket is just like other Efl.Net.Dialers: you
can dial, you can close, monitor connected/address resolved and so
on. And you can use WebSocket primitives and events such as
text_send(), binary_send(), ping() and close_request() (since
WebSockets use a close process where you should state a close
reason). See efl_net_dialer_websocket_example.c
Even if WebSocket is a message-based protocol (like "packets" from
UDP), you can use efl_net_dialer_websocket_streaming_mode_set() to
tell it to handle text or binary messages as a stream. Then all the
Efl.Io.Reader and Efl.Io.Writer APIs work as expected, see
efl_io_copier_example.c updates.
