Before this commit, the `unsubscribed` callbacks in Action Cable server
side channels were never called. This is because when a WebSocket
"goodbye" message was sent from the client, the Action Cable server
didn't properly clean up after the now closed WebSocket. This means that
memory could possibly skyrocket with this behavior, since part of this
commit is to properly remove closed subscriptions from the global
subscriptions hash. Say you have 10,000 users currently connected, and
then all 10,000 disconnect -- before this patch, Action Cable would
still hold onto information (and Ruby objects!) for all of these now
dead connections.
Also, address the possibility of the listen thread dying and needing to
be respawned. As a bonus, we now defer construction of the thread until
we are first given something to monitor.
