Summary:
- Node has a strong recommendation to assume bad state and exit promptly on
unhandled exceptions and rejections. We follow it, and only make an effort to
clean up before exiting, and to log the error in a more standard way.
- The only case seen in recent month of an unhandled rejection was for
attempting to write overly large JSON to a Client websocket. Ensure that's
handled, and add a test case that artificially reproduces this scenario.
Test Plan:
Added a test case for failing write to Client, and a test case that unhandled
errors indeed kill the server but with an attempt at cleanup.

Summary:
- Implements MemoryPool for waiting on memory reservations.
- Uses MemoryPool to control memory used for stringifying JSON responses in Client.ts
- Limits total size of _missedMessages that may be queued for a particular client.
- Upgrades ws library, which may reduce memory usage, and allows pausing the websocket for testing.
- The upgrade changed subtle behavior corners, requiring various fixes to code and tests.
- dos.ts:
- Includes Paul's fixes and updates to the dos.ts script for manual stress-testing.
- Logging tweaks, to avoid excessive dumps on uncaughtError, and include timestamps.
Test Plan:
- Includes a test that measures heap size, and fails without memory management.
- Includes a unittest for MemoryPool
- Some cleanup and additions to TestServer helper; in particular adds makeUserApi() helper used in multiple tests.
- Some fixes related to ws upgrade.
