Willy Tarreau 782336c21b Revert "BUG/MEDIUM: cli: fix master CLI connection slot leak on client disconnect"
This reverts commit 64383e655b.

As reported by Alexander Stephan in issue #3351, it causes problems.
First, as seen in the issue, the "reload" operation, handled by an applet
local to the master process, is being interrupted by the timeout so that
the client never gets the result (though the timeout is applied). A fix
for this was found (ignore client-fin/server-fin on applets, as they make
no sense there), but it only hides a deeper problem. Indeed, issuing
"@1 debug dev delay 2000" still stops at 1s with an error, indicating
that commands are systematically being sent with a shutdown, and thus
that the server-fin always applies. This is a problem because it means
that any long command will now be interrupted after one second.

All of this needs to be put back into perspective before progressing
further on this issue, and the reason for sending the shutdown should
be reconsidered in the context of the current version, as it looks
like this was once necessary but no longer is.

In addition, the issue encountered by Alexander, of a frozen worker,
was essentially reported once in many years, so it's totally acceptable
to leave older versions unfixed and figure what's the best solution for
modern versions only.

Let's just revert to the pre-fix situation so as to avoid causing
breakage everywhere. This revert should be backported to all versions
(2.4 included).
