Support Socket.io `auth` object

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Socket.IO docs v3+ suggest using auth object on client to send credentials that can be accessed on server like socket.handshake.auth.token

On Postman App v10.10.9 I didn't find any way to send this value using Socket.IO WebSocket request

Describe the solution you'd like

Alternatives:

1. A special tab Auth like Headers or Params
2. A new field on Settings tab that allows configuring the auth.token value

I'd be amazing if the new field supports the parameters replacement like {{token}}

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've considered:

1. Sending auth token as query param or header and adjust the server to get the token value there. It might work, but it's not the ideal solution because it changes the server implementation to facilitate local testing and do not follow the Socket.IO official docs suggestion (using the auth object on client).
2. Using Postman "pure" WebSocket Request as suggested in Socket.IO GitHub discussion: https://github.com/socketio/socket.io/discussions/4072#discussioncomment-1275380. It doesn't require any changes on server but we lose Postman exclusive features on Socket.IO WebSocket Request
