Description

Describe the feature

Context: mentioned by @keryigit (https://github.com/nitrojs/nitro/pull/926#issuecomment-2479538445)

Currently proxy route rules allow proxy normal HTTP requests but do not handle WebSocket upgrades

With experimental WebSocket support, we can also proxy WS upgrades.

For this, we need to develop a WS proxy utility from CrossWS: https://github.com/unjs/crossws/issues/93

Research direction

Start by reading the existing handling for proxy route rules and the CrossWS issue #93 linked in the description. Determine how experimental WebSocket upgrades should flow through the proxy alongside normal HTTP requests. Done means WebSocket upgrades are proxied for matching proxy rules without breaking existing HTTP proxy behavior.
