test(https): cover the TLS transport from three angles

ShouldSendRecieveHTTPS1 replays the plaintext round-trip over TLS, so a
regression in the transport shows up as an HTTP failure rather than
nothing at all, and adds what only exists under TLS: ALPN, scheme=https
reaching handlers, a body spanning many records, and the two ways
verification must fail — an untrusted self-signed certificate, and a
trusted certificate presented for the wrong name. A plaintext peer
knocking on the TLS port is asserted to be counted and shrugged off.

ShouldInteropCurlHTTPS1 puts real implementations on the other end, since
two OpenSSL peers can agree on a mistake. curl verifies our certificate
with --cacert rather than --insecure, and an h2-only curl is asserted to
be refused rather than mis-served. python3's http.server behind
ssl.wrap_socket answers HTTP/1.0 with Connection: close, which frames the
body by close_notify — the path a reader is most likely to get wrong.

ShouldRequireClientCertificateHTTPS1 covers mutual TLS both ways, and
drives TLSStream directly with hand-written HTTP/1.1 to keep the :TLS
layer honest as something usable without :ClientHTTP1 on top.

Also fix a delegation that `{}` no longer disambiguates now that a
three-argument TLS constructor exists alongside the fallback one.

// TLS interop against implementations that are not this library. Speaking
// HTTP/1.1 correctly to ourselves proves very little about the record layer —
// an OpenSSL client and an OpenSSL server can agree on a mistake.
//
// * curl drives our TLS listener, verifying our certificate properly with
// --cacert: keep-alive reuse, POST, HEAD, ALPN, and a status line.
// * ClientHTTP1 drives python3's http.server behind ssl.wrap_socket, which
// answers HTTP/1.0 with `Connection: close` — so the response is framed by
// close_notify rather than by content-length.
//
// Both peers are optional: a missing curl or python3 skips its half rather
// than failing, so the suite still runs on a bare machine.
