Send websocket handshake to the server.

`nc` must be a valid connection, connected to a server. `uri` is an URI
to fetch, `host` goes into the `Host` header, `protocol` goes into the
`Sec-WebSocket-Proto` header (NULL to omit), extra_headers` is extra HTTP
headers to send or `NULL`.

This function is intended to be used by websocket client.
