[v6.x] http: overridable keep-alive behavior of `Agent` by indutny · Pull Request #18168 · nodejs/node

Introduce two overridable `Agent` methods:

* `keepSocketAlive(socket)`
* `reuseSocket(socket, req)`

These methods can be overridden by particular `Agent` class child to
make keep-alive behavior customizable.

Motivation: destroy persisted sockets after some configurable timeout.
It is very non-trivial to do it with available primitives. Such program
will most likely need to poke with undocumented events and methods of
`Agent`. With introduced API such behavior is easy to implement.
