[C] Add ringzero-ws - WebSocket

Hand-rolled WebSocket echo server on raw io_uring (liburing), with no
WebSocket library. Multishot accept + multishot recv into a provided
buffer ring give zero-copy ingest; the RFC 6455 handshake (with
from-scratch SHA-1 + base64), frame parser/masking, and batched echo
write path are implemented directly against io_uring completions. One
ring per core with SO_REUSEPORT, matching the ringzero engine.

Subscribes to echo-ws and echo-ws-pipeline. Passes validate-ws.py (7/7)
plus large-frame / pipelined / concurrent stress tests via the Docker
build.

+# ringzero-ws
+
+A WebSocket echo server written directly on **raw io_uring** (liburing), with the
+WebSocket protocol **hand-rolled** — no `tokio-tungstenite`, no library WS stack.
+It's the io_uring sibling of the `ringzero` HTTP engine, and an `engine`-tier
+reference for what the modern Linux completion-based I/O path can do on `echo-ws`.
+
+## The "ring-zero" I/O path
+
+- **One `io_uring` per core**, each with its own `SO_REUSEPORT` listener — the
+  kernel shards new connections across rings, so there's no shared accept queue
+  and no cross-core work-stealing.
+- **Multishot accept** — a single SQE yields every incoming connection.
+- **Multishot recv + provided buffer ring** — recv is armed once per connection
+  with `IOSQE_BUFFER_SELECT`; the kernel writes incoming bytes straight into a
+  registered buffer slab (`io_uring_setup_buf_ring`) and hands back the buffer
+  id per completion. Frames are parsed **in place** out of that buffer, which is
+  recycled to the ring immediately after.
+- **`IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER | DEFER_TASKRUN`** for the single-thread-per-ring
+  fast path (with a graceful fallback for older kernels).
+
+Outgoing echoes are batched into a per-connection write queue so a pipelined
+burst flushes in as few `send`s as possible, and the in-flight chunk is sealed
+so the kernel never sees a reallocated buffer.
+
+## Hand-rolled WebSocket
+
+- **RFC 6455 handshake** — request parsing, `Sec-WebSocket-Accept` derivation,
+  and the `101` reply, with from-scratch **SHA-1 + base64** (`main.c`). The only
+  dependency is liburing.
+- **Frame codec** — 7/16/64-bit lengths, client→server unmasking, partial frames
+  carried across reads. Echoes are re-emitted as unmasked server frames
+  preserving FIN + opcode. `Ping`→`Pong`, `Close` echoed.
+
+## Endpoint
+
+| Method | Path  | Behavior                                 |
+|--------|-------|------------------------------------------|
+| GET    | `/ws` | WebSocket upgrade, then echo every frame |
+
+A non-upgrade `GET /ws` is rejected with `400`; other paths return `404`.
+
+## Build & run
+
+```bash
+docker build -t httparena-ringzero-ws .
+docker run --rm -p 18080:8080 httparena-ringzero-ws /server 8
+python3 ../../scripts/validate-ws.py localhost 18080 /ws
+```
+
+`/server <N>` selects the reactor (thread) count; the benchmark image defaults
+to `64`.
