http,net: optimize repeated property access

[jbj338033]

Summary

• Cache frequently accessed object properties in local variables to reduce property lookup overhead
• Optimizes HTTP Agent constructor and net.Socket configuration methods

Details

This PR optimizes repeated property access patterns in network-related modules:

HTTP Agent Constructor (lib/_http_agent.js)

• Caches this.options in a local opts variable
• Eliminates 14+ repeated property access chains during Agent instantiation
• HTTP Agents are created frequently for HTTP/HTTPS requests

Socket Configuration Methods (lib/net.js)

• setNoDelay(): Caches this._handle to avoid 2 property lookups
• setKeepAlive(): Caches this._handle to avoid 2 property lookups
• These methods are called during socket setup for every TCP connection

Performance Impact

• Reduces object traversal overhead in hot paths
• Particularly beneficial for applications with high connection volumes
• Follows the same optimization pattern as recent PRs (dgram: restore buffer optimization in fixBufferList #59934, https: optimize session cache property access #59967)

Test plan

• Existing HTTP/HTTPS tests pass
• Existing net tests pass
• No functional changes, only performance optimizations
• Manually verified Agent creation and socket configuration work correctly
