Auth0 no longer supports socketio-jwt

[rmharrison]

Auth0 has officially stopped supporting socketio-jwt, see: https://github.com/auth0-community/socketio-jwt/commit/c0e66b62d733b6373dc1c79f351bdfb19fdeff3f

@AnastasiaGrigoro forked this repo because they didn't accept necessary changes, e.g. PR https://github.com/auth0-community/socketio-jwt/pull/129

No maintainer, and no "go to" replacement, see: https://github.com/auth0-community/socketio-jwt/issues/131

Risk assessment

Package dependencies are out of date, and no CI is being run.

Added instanbul ( via nyc cli ) to check test coverage.
