Allow to use symbols for broadcasting target

[Vagab]

Problem

Test below will not pass:

# some_service.rb

class SomeService
  def call(record)
    record.broadcast_append_to(:some_records)
  end
end

# some_service_spec.rb

it "broadcasts to :some_records" do
  expect { SomeService.call(record) }.to broadcast_to(:some_records)
end

That is because internally rails does String(broadcasting), so test below would actually pass:

it "broadcasts to :some_records" do
  expect { SomeService.call(record) }.to broadcast_to("some_records")
end

Which is a bit counterintuitive.

Proposed solution

Just to_s if the channel passed is a symbol. Can possibly break if someone internally checks for symbolized channel, but the matcher should work.
