Support for the new Rack socket hijacking API

[Hongli Lai]

Rack 1.5.0 has been released today and introduced a new API: the
socket hijacking API[1]. This API allows applications to take over the
client socket so that they can perform arbitrary operations on it,
e.g. implementing Websocket. Support for this new hijacking API has
landed in Phusion Passenger 4 branch today.[2]

Please let us know if you find any issues.
