http: Raise hangup error on destroyed socket write
Prior to v0.10, Node ignored ECONNRESET errors in many situations. There *are* valid cases in which ECONNRESET should be ignored as a normal part of the TCP dance, but in many others, it's a very relevant signal that must be heeded with care. Exacerbating this problem, if the OutgoingMessage does not have a req.connection._handle, it assumes that it is in the process of connecting, and thus buffers writes up in an array. The problem happens when you reuse a socket between two requests, and it is destroyed abruptly in between them. The writes will be buffered, because the socket has no handle, but it's not ever going to GET a handle, because it's not connecting, it's destroyed. The proper fix is to treat ECONNRESET correctly. However, this is a behavior/semantics change, and cannot land in a stable branch. Fix #4775
