Socket.IO 4.3.0

Hello everyone!

We have just published a new minor version of Socket.IO: 4.3.0

An ESM bundle is now provided:

<script type="module">  import { io } from "https://cdn.socket.io/4.3.0/socket.io.esm.min.js";
  const socket = io();
  socket.emit("hello", "world");</script>

The bundle size has been greatly reduced, thanks to:

the migration to rollup
the cleanup of some unused code
the removal of debug calls from the bundle (explanation here)

And finally, the Socket.IO client is now compatible with Vite (#1492).
