robobun ee7608f7cf feat: support overriding Host, Sec-WebSocket-Key, and Sec-WebSocket-Protocol headers in WebSocket client (#22545)
## Summary

Adds support for overriding special WebSocket headers (`Host`,
`Sec-WebSocket-Key`, and `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol`) via the headers
option when creating a WebSocket connection.

## Changes

- Modified `WebSocketUpgradeClient.zig` to check for and use
user-provided special headers
- Added header value validation to prevent CRLF injection attacks
- Updated the NonUTF8Headers struct to automatically filter duplicate
headers
- When a custom `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol` header is provided, it properly
updates the subprotocols list for validation

## Implementation Details

The implementation adds minimal code by:
1. Using the existing `NonUTF8Headers` struct's methods to find valid
header overrides
2. Automatically filtering out WebSocket-specific headers in the format
method to prevent duplication
3. Maintaining a single, clean code path in `buildRequestBody()`

## Testing

Added comprehensive tests in `websocket-custom-headers.test.ts` that
verify:
- Custom Host header support
- Custom Sec-WebSocket-Key header support  
- Custom Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header support
- Header override behavior when both protocols array and header are
provided
- CRLF injection prevention
- Protection of system headers (Connection, Upgrade, etc.)
- Support for additional custom headers

All existing WebSocket tests continue to pass, ensuring backward
compatibility.

## Security

The implementation includes validation to:
- Reject header values with control characters (preventing CRLF
injection)
- Prevent users from overriding critical system headers like Connection
and Upgrade
- Validate header values according to RFC 7230 specifications

## Use Cases

This feature enables:
- Testing WebSocket servers with specific header requirements
- Connecting through proxies that require custom Host headers
- Implementing custom WebSocket subprotocol negotiation
- Debugging WebSocket connections with specific keys
