Merge #19140: tests: Avoid fuzzer-specific nullptr dereference in libevent when handling PROXY requests

20d31bdd92cc2ad9b8d26ed80da73bbcd6016144 tests: Avoid fuzzer-specific nullptr dereference in libevent when handling PROXY requests (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  Avoid constructing requests that will be interpreted by libevent as PROXY requests to avoid triggering a `nullptr` dereference. Split out from #19074 as suggested by MarcoFalke.

  The dereference (`req->evcon->http_server`) takes place in `evhttp_parse_request_line` and is a consequence of our hacky but necessary use of the internal function `evhttp_parse_firstline_` in the `http_request` fuzzing harness.

  The suggested workaround is not aesthetically pleasing, but it successfully avoids the troublesome code path.

  `" http:// HTTP/1.1\n"` was a crashing input prior to this workaround.

  Before this PR:

  ```

  Happy fuzzing :)
