Support re-using HTTP connections with `keepAlive` in Proxy agent

[fengzhou-sg]

Allow client to set keepAlive feature to re-use connections. Currently, keepAlive flag is skipped in issue #228872. This causes to keepAlive to be false at agent level, which prevents connection re-use for all endpoints (see nodejs Agent). While some servers may not support keep-alive well, globally disabling the flag seems too broad of impact. It would be great if clients can decide on whether to use keepAlive (through request's keepAlive) instead.

We are interested in moving this forward. Christof Marti (@chrmarti) is there any way we can help with this?

Valery Bugakov (@valerybugakov) You could try making it opt-in by reverting microsoft/vscode-proxy-agent#47 but only considering the original agent and not the global agent (which has it on by default). Please also reenable the test, add a changelog entry and increment the minor version in the package.json, so we can publish it for inclusion in VS Code. TIA!

Thank you, we will look into it!
