By forwarding the method to the inner smux.Stream. This is to prevent
io.Copy in the top-level proxy function from allocating a buffer per
client.
The smux.Stream WriteTo method returns io.EOF on success, contrary to
the contract of io.Copy that says it should return nil. Ignore io.EOF in
the proxy loop to avoid a log message.

Rather than use defer. It is only a tiny amount faster, but this
function is frequently called.
Before:
$ go test -bench=BenchmarkSendQueue -benchtime=2s
BenchmarkSendQueue-4 15901834 151 ns/op
After:
$ go test -bench=BenchmarkSendQueue -benchtime=2s

We use a call to test -z together with go fmt because it doesn't output
a non-zero exit status (triggering CI test failure). However, we lose
useful debugging output from the go fmt call because test -z swallows
it. This adds very verbose formatting output to the CI test.
I had thought to set a buffer size of 2048, half the websocket package
default of 4096. But it turns out when you don't set a buffer size, the
websocket package reuses the HTTP server's read/write buffers, which
empirically already have a size of 2048.

Otherwise the buffers are re-allocated on every iteration, which is a
surprise to me. I thought the compiler would do this transformation
itself.
Now there is just one allocation per client←server read (one
messageReader) and two allocations per server←client read (one
messageReader and one messageWriter).
$ go test -bench=BenchmarkReadWrite -benchmem -benchtime=5s
BenchmarkReadWrite/c←s_150-4 481054 12849 ns/op 11.67 MB/s 8 B/op 1 allocs/op
BenchmarkReadWrite/s←c_150-4 421809 14095 ns/op 10.64 MB/s 56 B/op 2 allocs/op
BenchmarkReadWrite/c←s_3000-4 208564 28003 ns/op 107.13 MB/s 16 B/op 2 allocs/op
BenchmarkReadWrite/s←c_3000-4 186320 30576 ns/op 98.12 MB/s 112 B/op 4 allocs/op
In the client←server direction, this hits a fast path that avoids
allocating a messageWriter.

Cuts the number of allocations in half in the client←server direction:
$ go test -bench=BenchmarkReadWrite -benchmem -benchtime=5s
