Description of change

If calling https.request() with options.headers.host defined and options.servername undefined, https.Agent.createSocket mutates connection options after https.Agent.addRequest has created empty socket pool array with mismatching connection name.

This results in two socket pool arrays being created and only the last one gets eventually deleted by removeSocket - effectively causing a memory leak.

This commit fixes the leak by making sure that addRequest does the same modifications to options object as the createSocket.

createSocket is intentionally left unmodified to prevent userland regressions.

Test case included.

Fixes: #6687

lib/_http_agent.js

I'd prefer just using hostHeader.slice() and hostHeader.indexOf(), but if others are not comfortable with that, at the very least the regex should be /:[\s\S]*$/ to match any character (including newlines).

I left the hostHeader cleanup intentionally unmodified to match the original feature implemented PR #1110

I did not want to fix two unrelated issues in single PR dedicated to memory leak.

I'm going to add lts-agenda label because this leak affects current LTS release too.
Feel free to remove if fixing this in LTS is not relevant.

test/parallel/test-https-agent-sockets-leak.js

I think this line should also be removed? #8647 (comment)

Thanks. Removed extra line.

If calling `https.request()` with `options.headers.host` defined and `options.servername` undefined, `https.Agent.createSocket` mutates connection `options` after `https.Agent.addRequest` has created empty socket pool array with mismatching connection name. This results in two socket pool arrays being created and only the last one gets eventually deleted by `removeSocket` - causing a memory leak. This commit fixes the leak by making sure that `addRequest` does the same modifications to `options` object as the `createSocket`. `createSocket` is intentionally left unmodified to prevent userland regressions.

Trying CI again due to the AIX error: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/4179/
Seems unrelated but just to be safe...

If CI is green, I'll land this.

@imyller I'm removing the agenda label for right now as there does not appear to be anything controversial about this change. After it has lived in a release for at least two weeks we can backport
