William Dauchy a9dd901143 MINOR: proxy: add option idle-close-on-response
Avoid closing idle connections if a soft stop is in progress.

By default, idle connections will be closed during a soft stop. In some
environments, a client talking to the proxy may have prepared some idle
connections in order to send requests later. If there is no proper retry
on write errors, this can result in errors while haproxy is reloading.
Even though a proper implementation should retry on connection/write
errors, this option was introduced to support back compat with haproxy <
v2.4. Indeed before v2.4, we were waiting for a last request to be able
to add a "connection: close" header and advice the client to close the
connection.

In a real life example, this behavior was seen in AWS using the ALB in
front of a haproxy. The end result was ALB sending 502 during haproxy
reloads.
This patch was tested on haproxy v2.4, with a regular reload on the
process, and a constant trend of requests coming in. Before the patch,
we see regular 502 returned to the client; when activating the option,
the 502 disappear.

This patch should help fixing github issue #1506.
In order to unblock some v2.3 to v2.4 migraton, this patch should be
backported up to v2.4 branch.
