Allow options to be passed to socket.io

[petecoop]

Socket.io has some useful options: https://github.com/socketio/engine.io#methods-1

It'd be nice if we could specify these options in the config to be passed through.

One example use-case is to swap out socket.io's websocket engine with uws: https://github.com/uWebSockets/uWebSockets, which claims to be 10-300x faster than socket.io's default engine (ws)

Thanks for sharing. uWebsockets looks pretty interesting, I'll have to check it out. Options for socket.io are on the list.

This has been added under the option databaseConfig. See https://github.com/tlaverdure/laravel-echo-server#redis-1

This might allow passing options to the database, but still can't pass options to socket.io which is my issue.

Options would need to be passed here: https://github.com/tlaverdure/laravel-echo-server/blob/master/src/server.ts#L93
