Support for HAProxy socket sender?

[mecampbellsoup]

I see you guys implemented native support for OpenResty NGINX socket types as well as luasocket:

https://github.com/cloudflare/raven-lua/blob/master/raven/senders/

We use Lua in HAProxy which has its own Socket class implementation (compatible with the Lua Socket class) due to the non-blocking nature of HAProxy:

https://www.arpalert.org/src/haproxy-lua-api/2.3/index.html#socket-class

Would you consider a PR that adds a sender for this type of socket as well? Otherwise we cannot use this library as it will block our Lua scripts' operations.

There is an HTTP library that is built to leverage HAProxy's non-blocking runtime we could use: https://github.com/haproxytech/haproxy-lua-http

Hi @jdesgats, @nevmerzhitsky, could you guys weigh in here? I'd be happy to open a PR just want to make sure this project is actively maintained!

Seems a good idea to add, imho.

For another dependency, pgmoon, we ended up hacking into package.loaded to modify the runtime socket library to use HAProxy's Lua API:

-- Monkeypatch socket package class to core for runtime (non-blocking) connections only
    if pg_settings["socket_type"] == nil then
        package.loaded["socket"] = core
    end

Might be easier to do something like this as well.
