Upgrade socket.io
As mentioned in #611 there is a new version of socket.io, but it breaks stuff. We should get that upgraded and fix the breakages, because it fixes a number of issues with reconnecting, which would be good. (also, 1.0 has a really nice feature where it falls back to long-polling immediately before trying websockets, so that people who have websockets blocked on the network can still get stuff immediately rather than waiting for the websockets failure).
I would wait for client dependancies to go through, as there's socket.io client in the repo too.
It would be nice to update socket.io client, there is a bug in the old version that causes crashes.
It's up to date in https://github.com/thelounge/lounge/
