Description
### Feature proposal
* Firebase Component: build (cmake/external/uWebSockets)
This SDK uses `cmake/external/uWebSockets` `4d94401b` from 20170925 ~v0.14.4... which is **VERY** old!
https://github.com/firebase/firebase-cpp-sdk/blob/b4f9e0b45d9cf69688cdb0285627aedfcc906dd9/cmake/external/uWebSockets.cmake#L21
https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets/tree/4d94401b9c98346f9afd838556fdc7dce30561eb
According to https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets/releases?page=16, a 20170925 commit would place this code between releases v0.14.4 and v0.14.5.
The latest uWebSockets is v20.63.0.
The version is not as big of a jump as it may seem.
According to https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets/releases?page=11, release `0.17.6` was followed by `18.0.0`, so I think they just dropped the leading "zero dot".
That said, there do appear to be some fairly significant changes since v0.14.4.
Most importantly, this SDK patches `src/HTTPSocket.h` and `src/Socket.h` that no longer exists in the newer uWebSockets code.
https://github.com/firebase/firebase-cpp-sdk/blob/b4f9e0b45d9cf69688cdb0285627aedfcc906dd9/scripts/git/patches/uWebSockets/0001-fix-want-write-and-sprintf-deprecation.patch
It looks like `src/HTTPSocket.h` was refactored out on 20190902, and `src/Socket.h` on 20190910.
I am sure that it would be non-**trivial** to update to the latest uWebSockets, but it may be worth updating to at least a version closer to the refactor, but preferably to the latest.
Most of the other cmake/external dependencies seem more reasonably up to date, but it would be nice to update them to as recent as possible.
