Description

When @types/express-ws (`npm install --save-dev @types/express-ws`) is added to the same Typescript project that uses websocket-stream, `tsc` produces the following:
```
> tsc

The fix seems to be changing `index.d.ts` from:
```ts
on(event: 'connection', cb: (this: WebSocket.Server, socket: WebSocket, request: http.IncomingMessage) => void): this;
on(event: 'error', cb: (this: WebSocket, error: Error) => void): this;
on(event: 'headers', cb: (this: WebSocket, headers: string[], request: http.IncomingMessage) => void): this;
on(event: 'listening', cb: (this: WebSocket) => void): this;
on(event: 'stream', cb: (this: WebSocket, stream: WebSocketDuplex, request: http.IncomingMessage) => void): this;
on(event: string | symbol, listener: (this: WebSocket, ...args: any[]) => void): this;
```

to:
```ts
on(event: 'connection', cb: (this: Server, socket: WebSocket, request: http.IncomingMessage) => void): this;
on(event: 'error', cb: (this: Server, error: Error) => void): this;
on(event: 'headers', cb: (this: Server, headers: string[], request: http.IncomingMessage) => void): this;
on(event: 'listening', cb: (this: Server) => void): this;
on(event: 'stream', cb: (this: Server, stream: WebSocketDuplex, request: http.IncomingMessage) => void): this;
on(event: string | symbol, listener: (this: Server, ...args: any[]) => void): this;
```

which matches the typings for `WebSocket.Server`

Research direction

Update the declarations in index.d.ts, focusing on the Server.on overloads shown in the issue. Reproduce the failure with TypeScript and @types/express-ws, then run tsc again; done means the reported TS2416 errors no longer occur and the Server callback typings match the intended Server type.
