Changes since PR #3048 was put up for review

- Add web3.providers.websocket.rst to .gitignore
- Put back formatters for eth_getCode / remove unnecessary ``compose()``
- Add read-friendly comment splitting Web3 from AsyncWeb3 in main.py
- Use correct class name in docstring
- Friendlier message when exception is raised connecting to websocket endpoint
- Friendlier message for websocket restricted_kwargs; use a merge of default + provided websocket_kwargs with the provided values taking precedence
- Validate "ws://" / "wss://" in websocket endpoint
