Metamask-extension: Add websocket support
Create a branch to work with Infura Websocket support.
Our websocket provider would not need to handle filters client side.
Won't need client-side filter management in the short term, for experimenting with.

Raising priority because it will allow a tighter integration with ganache to detect provider changes. #1999.

@danfinlay @kumavis i've converted this to an epic to reflect what we discussed this morning. please rename & add/remove stories as necessary - not sure if this is to be framed as websocket support, subscription support, or general web3 1.0 support since they seem quite interrelated

So, websocket connections aren't yet supported in Metamask, correct?
I'm currently using a websocket RPC connection (readonly) in some Dapps, in parallel to the Metamask provided connection, in order to have the UI react faster to on-chain changes.
From this issue, it's not clear to me if websocket support is to be expected anytime soon. That would help me decide if I should treat the extra code for that workaround as temporary, or if I should be prepared to live with it for a bit longer and thus give it some more love.

It is not yet supported, and it isn't one of our top priorities at the moment, so I would expect to live with other approaches for a bit longer, sorry!
