http: guard against response splitting in trailers

Commit 3c293ba ("http: protect against response splitting attacks")
filters out newline characters from HTTP headers but forgot to apply
the same logic to trailing HTTP headers, i.e., headers that come after
the response body.  This commit rectifies that.

The expected security impact is low because approximately no one uses
trailing headers.  Some HTTP clients can't even parse them.
