Dmitry Frank 23122b327c Remove old docs, rename docs_new to docs
It would be probably good idea to also remove tools/docgen.py and
asciidoc.mk, but asciidoc.mk is still mentioned under `cloud/doc`, which
may contain some useful info which we'll need at least to review before
removing.

Helper function that creates an outbound WebSocket connection.
`url` is a URL to connect to. It must be properly URL-encoded, e.g. have
no spaces, etc. By default, `mg_connect_ws()` sends Connection and
Host headers. `extra_headers` is an extra HTTP headers to send, e.g.
`"User-Agent: my-app\r\n"`.
If `protocol` is not NULL, then a `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol` header is sent.
Examples:
```c
nc1 = mg_connect_ws(mgr, ev_handler_1, "ws://echo.websocket.org", NULL,
NULL);
nc2 = mg_connect_ws(mgr, ev_handler_1, "wss://echo.websocket.org", NULL,
NULL);
nc3 = mg_connect_ws(mgr, ev_handler_1, "ws://api.cesanta.com",
"clubby.cesanta.com", NULL);
```
