Merge #11593: rpc: work-around an upstream libevent bug

97932cd rpc: further constrain the libevent workaround (Cory Fields)
6b58360 rpc: work-around an upstream libevent bug (Cory Fields)

Pull request description:

  A rare race condition may trigger while awaiting the body of a message.

  This may fix some reported rpc hangs/crashes.

  This work-around mimics what libevent does internally once a write has started, which is what usually happens, but not always due to the processing happening on a different thread: e7ff4ef2b4/http.c (L373)

  Fixed upstream at: 5ff8eb2637
