* MM-22044: Fix panic on web_conn send hello

(*Hub).Start is the central place for sending all web connection
related traffic. However, there was this one call to (*WebConn).Hello
which tried to send a message to a webconn separately.

This was a rare case, but it did occur under stress conditions generated
from a load test.

When the websocket send SEND_QUEUE_SIZE would get filled up and we would
attempt to make a broadcast, the non-blocking send would close the Send
channel of the web connection. During that time, if a web connection
would try to perform a broadcast, it would try to send to a closed channel
and cause a panic.

The solution is to bring back the sending of hello into the same goroutine
inside (*Hub).Start so that all state is centralised and we avoid
sending to a closed channel by sending the hello message inside the registering
code itself.

* Adding non-blocking send

* Simplify things

* Remove test

* Bring sendHello back

* Improve code further
