net.http.server: Add new API to get HTTP request from a connection

This information is sometimes necessary in the context where we have a
connection that we know (or believe to be) associated with an incoming HTTP
request.

For example, it can be used to retrieve the IP address of a request (which may
differ from the IP address of the connection, due to X-Forwarded-For and co).

Thanks to the Jitsi team for highlighting this gap in the API.
