Upstream: fixed "header already sent" alerts on backend errors.

Following ad3f342f14ba046c (1.9.13), it is possible that a request where
header was already sent will be finalized with NGX_HTTP_BAD_GATEWAY,
triggering an attempt to return additional error response and the
"header already sent" alert as a result.

In particular, it is trivial to reproduce the problem with a HEAD request
and caching enabled.  With caching enabled nginx will change HEAD to GET
and will set u->pipe->downstream_error to suppress sending the response
body to the client.  When a backend-related error occurs (for example,
proxy_read_timeout expires), ngx_http_finalize_upstream_request() will
be called with NGX_HTTP_BAD_GATEWAY.  After ad3f342f14ba046c this will
result in ngx_http_finalize_request(NGX_HTTP_BAD_GATEWAY).

Fix is to move u->pipe->downstream_error handling to a later point,
where all special response codes are changed to NGX_ERROR.
