Harmonize HTTP/1.1 NIO2 keepalive code. (remm)

WebSocket

Remove the STREAMS_DROP_EMPTY_MESSAGES system property that was introduced to work-around four failing TCK tests. An alternative solution has been implemented. Sending messages via getSendStream() and getSendWriter() will now only result in messages on the wire if data is written to the OutputStream or Writer. Writing zero length data will result in an empty message. Note that sending a message via an Encoder may result in the message being send via getSendStream() or getSendWriter(). (markt)

63002: Fix setting rewrite qsdiscard flag. (remm)
Implement the requirements of section 8.2.2 2c of the Servlet specification and prevent a web application from deploying if it has fragments with duplicate names and is configured to use relative ordering of fragments. (markt)
Ensure that the HEAD response is consistent with the GET response when HttpServlet is relied upon to generate the HEAD response and the GET response uses chunking. (markt)
Ensure that the ServletOutputStream implementation is consistent with the requirements of asynchronous I/O and that all of the write methods use a single write rather than multiple writes. (markt)
Correct the Javadoc for Context.getDocBase() and Context.setDocBase() and remove text that indicates that a URL may be used for the docBase as this has not been the case for quite some time. (markt)
Add basic health check valve. (remm)

Update the host validation to permit host names and components of domain names (excluding top-level domains) to start with a number and to ensure that top-level domains are fully alphabetic. (markt)
62053: Fix NPE when writing push headers with HTTP/2 NIO2. Patch submitted by Holger Sunke. (remm)

Jasper

Include an HTTP Allow header when a JSP generates a 405 response due to a request with an unsupported method. (markt)
Add support for the HTTP OPTION method to JSPs. The JSP specification explicitly states that the behaviour for this method is undefined for JSPs so this is a Tomcat specific behaviour. (markt)

With the fix for 56917, redirects may now be relative making the sendRedirect() implementation for the RemoteIpFilter much simpler. This also addresses issues where the redirect may not have behaved as expected when redirecting from http to https to from https to http. (markt)
58657: Exceptions in a Servlet 3.1 ReadListener or WriteListener do not need to be immediately fatal to the connection. Allow an error response to be written. (markt)

Apply the filter on load as well as unload to ensure that configuration changes made while the web application is stopped are applied to any persisted data. (markt)
Extend the session attribute filtering options to include filtering based on the implementation class of the value and optional WARN level logging if an attribute is filtered. These options are available for all of the Manager implementations that ship with Tomcat. When a SecurityManager is used filtering will be enabled by default. (markt)
Remove distributable and maxInactiveInterval from the Manager interface because the attributes are never used. The equivalent attributes from the Context always take precedence. (markt)
