BUG/MEDIUM: tcpcheck: Properly catch early HTTP parsing errors

When an HTTP response is parsed, early parsing errors are not properly
handled. When this error is reported by the multiplexer, nothing is copied
into the input buffer. The HTX message remains empty but the
HTX_FL_PARSING_ERROR flag is set. In addition CS_FL_EOI is set on the
conn-stream. This last flag must be handled to prevent subscription for
receive events. Otherwise, in the best case, a L7 timeout error is
reported. But a transient loop is also possible if a shutdown is received
because the multiplexer notifies the check of the event while the check
never handles it and waits for more data.

Now, if CS_FL_EOI flag is set on the conn-stream, expect rules are
evaluated. Any error must be handled there.

Thanks to @kazeburo for his valuable report.

This patch should fix the issue #1420. It must be backported at least to
2.4. On 2.3 and 2.2, there is no loop but the wrong error is reported (empty
response instead of invalid one). Thus it may also be backported as far as
2.2.
