Resolving the mitmproxy websocket_message memory leak

I confirmed that there is a memory leak when using mitmproxy for a long time. It’s a bit unclear whether this is really a leak, though. First, you can check the issue below to find the cause. ```python def websocket_message(flow: http.HTTPFlow): assert flow.websocket is not None # make type checker happy flow.websocket.messages = [] ``` After using the messages in `websocket_message` like this, you should clear out messages. For reference, ```python def websocket_message(flow: http.HTTPFlow): assert flow.websocket is not None # make type checker happy flow.websocket.messages.clear() ``` You can also use the clear() function like this.
