Lingering close for connections with pipelined requests.
This is expected to help with clients using pipelining with some constant
depth, such as apt[1][2].
When downloading many resources, apt uses pipelining with some constant
depth, a number of requests in flight. This essentially means that after
receiving a response it sends an additional request to the server, and
this can result in requests arriving to the server at any time. Further,
additional requests are sent one-by-one, and can be easily seen as such
(neither as pipelined, nor followed by pipelined requests).
The only safe approach to close such connections (for example, when
keepalive_requests is reached) is with lingering. To do so, now nginx
monitors if pipelining was used on the connection, and if it was, closes
the connection with lingering.
