http: improves expect header handling

Now returns a 417 error status or allows for an event listener on
the `checkExpectation` event. Before we were ignoring requests that
had misspelled `100-continue` values for expect headers.

This is a quick port of the work done here:
nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#7132 by alFReD-NSH
with surrounding discussion here:
nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#4651

Also updates all the instances of the deprecated
EventEmitter.listenerCount to the current self.listenerCount. Most
of these were in the new code ported over but there was another
legacy instance.
