RFR: 8303965: java.net.http.HttpClient should reset the stream if response headers contain malformed header fields

Fri Mar 10 14:07:18 UTC 2023

According to RFC 7540:

Endpoints MUST treat a request or response that contains
undefined or invalid pseudo-header fields as malformed (Section 8.1.2.6).

Section-8.1.2.6 Malformed requests or responses that are detected MUST be treated as a stream error (Section 5.4.2) of type PROTOCOL_ERROR.

The current behavior is to close the connection with protocol error. This change makes it reset the stream instead.
