Enable header valication in HttpServerUpgradeHandler (#10643)

Browse Source 
Motivation:

HttpServerUpgradeHandler takes a list of protocols from an incoming
request and uses them for building a response.
Although the class does some validation while parsing the list,
it then disables HTTP header validation when it builds a responst.
The disabled validation may potentially allow
HTTP response splitting attacks.

Modifications:

- Enabled HTTP header validation in HttpServerUpgradeHandler
  as a defense-in-depth measure to prevent possible
  HTTP response splitting attacks.
- Added a new constructor that allows disabling the validation.

Result:

HttpServerUpgradeHandler validates incoming protocols
before including them into a response.
That should prevent possible HTTP response splitting attacks.
