BUG/MEDIUM: http-ana: Never for sending data in TUNNEL mode

When a channel is set in TUNNEL mode, we now always set the CF_NEVER_WAIT flag,
to be sure to never wait for sending data. It is important because in TUNNEL
mode, we have no idea if more data are expected or not. Setting this flag
prevent the MSG_MORE flag to be set on the connection.

It is only a problem with the HTX, since the 2.2. On previous versions, the
MSG_MORE flag is only set on the mux initiative. In fact, the problem arises
because there is an ambiguity in tunnel mode about the HTX_FL_EOI flag. In this
mode, from the mux point of view, while the SHUTR is not received more data are
expected. But from the channel point of view, we want to send data asap.

At short term, this fix is good enough and is valid anyway. But for the long
term more reliable solution must be found. At least, the to_forward field must
regain its original meaning.

This patch must be backported as far as 2.2.
