Loïc Hoguin 5ce4c2bfb4 Unify the init and terminate callbacks
This set of changes is the first step to simplify the
writing of handlers, by removing some extraneous
callbacks and making others optional.

init/3 is now init/2, its first argument being removed.

rest_init/2 and rest_terminate/2 have been removed.

websocket_init/3 and websocket_terminate/3 have been removed.

terminate/3 is now optional. It is called regardless of
the type of handler, including rest and websocket.

The return value of init/2 changed. It now returns
{Mod, Req, Opts} with Mod being either one of the four
handler type or a custom module. It can also return extra
timeout and hibernate options.

The signature for sub protocols has changed, they now
receive these extra timeout and hibernate options.

Loop handlers are now implemented in cowboy_long_polling,
and will be renamed throughout the project in a future commit.
