Jeremy Daer b168eb5819 Cable message encoding
* Introduce a connection coder responsible for encoding Cable messages
  as WebSocket messages, defaulting to `ActiveSupport::JSON` and duck-
  typing to any object responding to `#encode` and `#decode`.
* Consolidate encoding responsibility to the connection. No longer
  explicitly JSON-encode from channels or other sources. Pass Cable
  messages as Hashes to `#transmit` and rely on it to encode.
* Introduce stream encoders responsible for decoding pubsub messages.
  Preserve the currently raw encoding, but make it easy to use JSON.
  Same duck type as the connection encoder.
* Revert recent data normalization/quoting (#23649) which treated
  `identifier` and `data` values as nested JSON objects rather than as
  opaque JSON-encoded strings. That dealt us an awkward hand where we'd
  decode JSON strings… or not, but always encode as JSON. Embedding
  JSON object values directly is preferably, no extra JSON encoding,
  but that should be a purposeful protocol version change rather than
  ambiguously, inadvertently supporting multiple message formats.

# Broadcasting is how other parts of your application can send messages to a channel's subscribers. As explained in Channel, most of the time, these
# broadcastings are streamed directly to the clients subscribed to the named broadcasting. Let's explain with a full-stack example:
#
# class WebNotificationsChannel < ApplicationCable::Channel
# def subscribed
# stream_from "web_notifications_#{current_user.id}"
# end
# end
#
# # Somewhere in your app this is called, perhaps from a NewCommentJob:
# ActionCable.server.broadcast \
# "web_notifications_1", { title: "New things!", body: "All that's fit for print" }
#
# # Client-side CoffeeScript, which assumes you've already requested the right to send web notifications:
# App.cable.subscriptions.create "WebNotificationsChannel",
# received: (data) ->
# new Notification data['title'], body: data['body']

# Broadcast a hash directly to a named <tt>broadcasting</tt>. This will later be JSON encoded.

# Returns a broadcaster for a named <tt>broadcasting</tt> that can be reused. Useful when you have an object that
# may need multiple spots to transmit to a specific broadcasting over and over.
