Shipped Gale: HTTP/3 for Phoenix without replacing Bandit.

adapter: Gale.PhoenixAdapter + http3: true.

QUIC via :quic_h3, QPACK in a Zig NIF, Plug if you are not on Phoenix. Localhost bench in the README (~825K on 7 streams). Come break it.

Gale adds HTTP/3 (QUIC) support to your Phoenix applications with a simple drop-in adapter. Built on Bandit for HTTP/1.1/HTTP/2, with :quic_h3 for HTTP/3 and a Zig NIF for maximum QPACK performance.

How does http/3 and QUIC interact with liveview websockets? Can Gale run a websocket over QUIC or do they still run on TCP? I see websocket support mentioned here, but nothing about LiveView specifically.
