v4 fails to import https resources on macOS, works in v3

[joeyparrish]

To reproduce:

@import (css, inline) "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto";

Current behavior:
Fails with ECONNRESET on macOS with less v4.1.2, but succeeds with less v3.13.1. Doesn't fail on Linux or Windows. Reproducible in GitHub Actions as well as on our private mac hardware.

Expected behavior:
Should be able to fetch https resources equally on all platforms.

Environment information:

• less version: 4.1.2, but not 3.13.1
• nodejs version: 17.5.0
• operating system: macOS

Facing this same issue on my mac as well

Possibly related issue: nodejs/node#27916

I've traced it to needle, a new dependency of less.js. They remove their error listener after closing the connection, but nodejs fires an error after that.
