http: implement new evhttp_connection_get_addr() api.
Basically tcp final handshake looks like this:
(C - client, S - server)
ACK[C] - FIN/ACK[S] - FIN/ACK[S] - ACK [C]
However there are servers, that didn't close connection like this,
while it is still _considered_ as valid, and using libevent http layer
we can do requests to such servers.
Modified handshake:
(C - client, S - server)
ACK[C] - RST/ACK[S] - RST/ACK[S]
And in this case we can't extract IP address from socket, because it is
already closed, and getpeername() will return: "transport endpoint is not connected".
So we need to store address that we are connecting to, after we know it,
and that is what this patch do.
I have reproduced it, however it have some extra packages.
(I will try to fix it)
