Change the mask generator to use QRandomGenerator instead of qs?rand
This makes it secure, instead of insecure, and requires no seeding. Task-number: QTBUG-61694 Change-Id: Ia53158e207a94bf49489fffd14c782bd4ec24946 Reviewed-by: Jesus Fernandez <Jesus.Fernandez@qt.io> Reviewed-by: Timur Pocheptsov <timur.pocheptsov@qt.io>

In that case, non-secure WebSocket connections fail. The best way to mitigate against
this problem is to use WebSocket over a secure connection.
- \warning To generate masks, this implementation of WebSockets uses the cryptographically
- insecure qrand() function.
+ \warning To generate masks, this implementation of WebSockets uses the reasonably
+ secure QRandomGenerator::get32() function.
