Addition of socket.io-client version selector for Socket.IO connections
This fixes the compatibility issues that were occurring due to Hoppscotch running socket.io-client v4 and servers running an older version of socket.io. Reference: Compatibility chart
A dropdown menu has been added to allow the user to choose the appropriate version of socket.io-client to use when making the connection. The default value has been set to v4 as this was the only version available before this change.
Currently, only v2, v3, v4 versions of socket.io-client are available, and all these versions of the same package were installed using the aliases feature in pnpm. I'm not sure if this has added a significant overhead on the bundle size, it might be a possible caveat to this approach(We can use dynamic imports to load rarely used versions dynamically to fix this)
