This commit addresses critical issues where unhandled socket connection errors (ECONNREFUSED) would crash the server and cause memory leaks with rising connection counts.
Changes:
- Add createSocketWithErrorHandler() utility that attaches error handlers immediately upon socket creation
- Update https-passthrough-handler to use safe socket creation and clean up client sockets on server connection failure
- Update https-terminate-to-http-handler to use safe socket creation
- Ensure proper connection cleanup when server connections fail
- Document the fix in readme.hints.md and create implementation plan in readme.plan.md
The fix prevents race conditions where sockets could emit errors before handlers were attached, and ensures failed connections are properly cleaned up to prevent memory leaks.
