Description

We should probably deprecate the ignoreUncleanSSLShutdown parameter. AsyncHTTPClient knows when it can and when it cannot ignore an unclean SSL shutdown.

Basically if an .end was received and we have either a content-length OR a transfer-encoding: chunked header from the server, we can safely ignore. For HTTP/2 we can always ignore.

If we do have neither a content-length, nor a transfer-encoding: chunked header, then this should error.

Research direction

Start by locating AsyncHTTPClient's handling of the ignoreUncleanSSLShutdown parameter and the paths for HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 response completion. Check how .end, content-length, and transfer-encoding: chunked are currently interpreted. Done means the parameter is deprecated and unclean shutdowns follow the stated safe-ignore and error cases.
