Fix to not send Proxy-Connection #7492

Description

@rob05c

Proxy-Connection is a non-standard header people started using because they misunderstood HTTP. It never makes sense for a Proxy to send that header to either a parent proxy or an origin, under any circumstances.

We should remove the logic in ATS that does, and either send Connection: or nothing, as appropriate.

(Though it probably makes sense to use it, if we receive it.)
