http: add checkIsHttpToken check for header fields

Ref: nodejs/node-convergence-archive#13

This adds a new check for header and trailer fields names and method
names to ensure that they conform to the HTTP token rule. If they do
not, a `TypeError` is thrown.

Previously this had an additional `strictMode` option that has been
removed in favor of making the strict check the default (and only)
behavior.

Doc and test case are included.

On the client-side
```javascript
var http = require('http');
var url = require('url');
var p = url.parse('http://localhost:8888');
p.headers = {'testing 123': 123};
http.client(p, function(res) { }); // throws
```

On the server-side
```javascript
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(function(req,res) {
  res.setHeader('testing 123', 123); // throws
  res.end('...');
});
```
