Pull request description:

  This revives bitcoin#19420. Since promag is not so active at the moment, I can support this to finally get it merged.

  The PR is rebased and comments by jonatack have been addressed.

  Once this is merged, I will also reopen bitcoin#19434.

Pull request description:

  bitcoin#26742 significantly increased the http server shutdown speed, but also introduced a bug (bitcoin#27722 - see bitcoin#27722 (comment) for steps to reproduce on master) that causes http server shutdown to halt in case of a remote client disconnection. This happens because `evhttp_request_set_on_complete_cb` is never called and thus the request is never removed from `g_requests`.

  This PR fixes that bug, and improves robustness of the code by encapsulating the request tracking logic. Earlier approaches (bitcoin#27909, bitcoin#27245, bitcoin#19434) attempted to resolve this but [imo are fundamentally unsafe](bitcoin#27909 (comment)) because of differences in lifetime between an `evhttp_request` and `evhttp_connection`.

  We don't need to keep track of open requests or connections, we just [need to ensure](bitcoin#19420 (comment)) that there are no active requests on server shutdown. Because a connection can have multiple requests, and a request can be completed in various ways (the request actually being handled, or the client performing a remote disconnect), keeping a counter per connection seems like the approach with the least overhead to me.

  Fixes bitcoin#27722
