allow insecure-http-header parsing to be requested per server

Please describe the problem you are trying to solve.
Some servers deviate from HTTP spec enougth that Node.js can't communicate with them, but "work" when --insecure-http-parser is enabled globally. It would be useful to be able to use this mode, as a client, only when connecting to known bad servers.

Sounds good! I’m assuming we could implement this the same way we’re doing it for maxHeaderSize? I’m happy to take this on if you like.
The global flag was a necessity, IMO, see #30567 (comment), but per connection would be nice, too.
@addaleax To be clear, I'm not personally requesting this. It seems like a nice API addition, and at least 1 person has asked for it , and you mentioned an interest, but maybe its a good first contribution for someone else. As you wish.
