HTTPServer: read requests from connected clients

`SocketHandlerConnected()` adapted from CConnman

Testing this requires adding a new feature to the SocketTestingSetup,
inserting a "request" payload into the mock client that connects
to us.

This commit also moves IOErrorIsPermanent() from sock.cpp to sock.h
so it can be called from the socket handler in httpserver.cpp

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds the ability for Bitcoin Core's new HTTP server to actually read incoming request data from connected clients. Previously, the server could accept connections but did not read what clients sent. The change is a normal feature addition with no security fix or vulnerability indicator visible in the code or commit message.

Recommended action

No security action required; treat as routine feature development. Reviewers may want to follow the TODOs for proper disconnect and error handling in subsequent commits.
