Use {shutdown, Error} when terminating connection processes
Previously they exited `normal`, which helped avoid error log spam. However,
that also meant any linked helper processes would not exit when the main
connection process had been terminated.
To automatically clean up any linked processes, and continue avoiding
generating error logs, we can use `{shutdown, Error}` as the exit reason. That
error, along with `shutdown` atom, are special exit reasons which are
considered `normal` for proc_lib processes and will not generate error logs
[1].
Another benefit is having more specific exit reasons (send error, recv error,
etc.), which may help with debugging.

MochiWeb is currently tested with Erlang/OTP 18.3 through 24.0, but may still be compatible back to R15B-03.
OTP 21.2 (up to and including 21.2.2) introduced an SSL regression that makes these releases unsafe to use. See ERL-830. This issue was resolved in OTP 21.2.3.
