FastCGI: ensure HTTP_HOST is set to the requested target host.

Previously, the HTTP_HOST environment variable was constructed from the
Host request header field, which doesn't work well with HTTP/2 and
HTTP/3 where Host may be supplanted by the ":authority" pseudo-header
field per RFC 9110, section 7.2. Also, it might give an incorrect
HTTP_HOST value from HTTP/1.x requests given in the absolute form, in
which case the Host header must be ignored by the server, per RFC 9112,
section 3.2.2.

The fix is to redefine the HTTP_HOST default from a protocol-specific
value given in the $host variable. This will now use the Host request
header field, ":authority" pseudo-header field, or request line target
URI depending on request HTTP version.

Also the CGI specification (RFC 3875, 4.1.18) notes

  The server SHOULD set meta-variables specific to the protocol and
  scheme for the request. Interpretation of protocol-specific
  variables depends on the protocol version in SERVER_PROTOCOL.
