Native support for web sockets

We've been attempting to migrate our app from sapper to sveltekit and ran into the problem of web sockets, in sapper we could simply attach the WebSocket server directly to the express server and be done with it, but as per Rich Harris' comments [here](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/334#issuecomment-804987028) and here [here](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/334#issuecomment-806289525) in sveltekit we don't want to expose direct access to the middlwares thus promoting the node adapter over the serverless ones. However seeing as some of the serverless providers are starting to support web sockets ([cloudflare](https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-websockets-in-workers/)) ([begin](https://blog.begin.com/introducing-architect-5-0-fully-serverless-websockets-20bb97673c4e)) ([AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/announcing-websocket-apis-in-amazon-api-gateway/)) should sveltekit provide a way to handle these connections directly? A native approach to this could also potentially provide a tool to solve this [issue](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/87) and [this](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/887) **Describe the solution you'd like** An interesting solution could be to expose functions in endpoints in the same way we handle http requests, and then let the adapters handle the rest ```routes/api/index.ts``` ```js // Handle post requests export const post: RequestHandler = async (request) => {....} // Handle web socket requests export co
