Back-port of #26467 to v10

HTTP/1.1 mandates connections which do not support keep-alive and
close the connection send the connection: close header, see
https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.10

This page also provides more information:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Connection

I understand that HTTP/1.1 defaults to keep-alive - and that the
Connection: close header is required when closing a connection.

This adds the Connection: close header in the 400 responses
sent on client errors.

It might be better to also open this for 11.x land that first, wait a couple of releases and then also land this.

@lpinca @johanneswuerbach, is it possible that this change could cause ecosystem breakages? Just erring on the side of caution before landing this on v10.x.

@BethGriggs I don't think so as the socket is destroyed anyway.

@BethGriggs as explained here #26467 (comment), I think this is mainly a bugfix to make node js http spec complaint and wouldn't expect any breakage as it merely adds a missing header.
