Merge bitcoin#19140: tests: Avoid fuzzer-specific nullptr dereference in libevent when handling PROXY requests
20d31bd 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 bitcoin#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:
```
$ echo " http:// HTTP/1.1" > input

See [`doc/fuzzing.md`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/fuzzing.md) for information on how to fuzz Bitcoin Core. Don't forget to contribute any coverage increasing inputs you find to the [Bitcoin Core fuzzing corpus repo](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets).
Happy fuzzing :)
