socket: detect "dead" connections better, e.g. not fit for reuse

- refs #10646 where reuse was attempted on closed connections in the
  cache, leading to an exhaustion of retries on a transfer
- the mistake was that poll events like POLLHUP, POLLERR, etc
  were regarded as "not dead".
- change cf-socket filter check to regard such events as inidication
  of corpsiness.
- vtls filter checks: fixed interpretation of backend check result
  when inconclusive to interrogate status further down the filter
  chain.
