fix: Remove the default connection close header. (#1736)

Instead, we rely on the underlying http implementation in Node.js to handle this, as per the documentation at https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#new-agentoptions This fixes #1735 and likely replaces #1473 The original change introducing this provided no clear motivation for the override, and the implementation has since been changed to disable this header when an agent is provided, so I think there is sufficient evidence that removing this is the correct behaviour. af21ae6 7f68577

+If no agent is specified, the default agent provided by Node.js is used. Note that [this changed in Node.js 19](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/4267b92604ad78584244488e7f7508a690cb80d0/lib/_http_agent.js#L564) to have `keepalive` true by default. If you wish to enable `keepalive` in an earlier version of Node.js, you can override the agent as per the following code sample.

 In addition, the `agent` option accepts a function that returns `http`(s)`.Agent` instance given current [URL](https://nodejs.org/api/url.html), this is useful during a redirection chain across HTTP and HTTPS protocol.
