HttpConnection now provides a remoteAddress(boolean) that returns the local IP address when running behind HA proxy.

We can support this with an x-forwarded-for HTTP request header.

Note that any original header value should be included in the list.

This feature would be also helpful in SockJSSocket and WebSocketBase.
