Add user configurable mask generation
Created a QMaskGenerator abstract base class to serve as a basis for user specific mask generators. Added the possibility to override the default mask generation in QWebSocket. Change-Id: Iaa02b44193f854d103b5f352617789175fe61f89 Reviewed-by: Kurt Pattyn <pattyn.kurt@gmail.com>

+/*!
+ \class QMaskGenerator
+ The QMaskGenerator class provides an abstract base for custom 32-bit mask generators.
+
+ The WebSockets specification as outlined in {http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455}{RFC 6455}
+ requires that all communication from client to server must be masked. This is to prevent
+ malicious scripts to attack bad behaving proxies.
+ For more information about the importance of good masking,
+ see \l {http://w2spconf.com/2011/papers/websocket.pdf}.
+ By default QWebSocket uses the cryptographically insecure qrand() function.
+ The best measure against attacks mentioned in the document above,
+ is to use QWebSocket over a secure connection (\e wss://).
+ In general, always be careful to not have 3rd party script access to
+ a QWebSocket in your application.

+
+/*!
+ \fn bool QMaskGenerator::seed()
+
+ Initializes the QMaskGenerator by seeding the randomizer.
+ When seed() is not called, it depends on the specific implementation of a subclass if
+ a default seed is used or no seed is used at all.
+*/
+
+/*!
+ \fn quint32 QMaskGenerator::nextMask()
+
+ Returns a new random 32-bit mask. The randomness depends on the RNG used to created the
+ mask.
