Avoid duplicate subrequest finalization

Previously, if a subrequest was posted twice, it could be finalized in
both calls, excessively reducing r->main->count and potentially leading
to a use-after-free.

The fix is to avoid posting a request if it's already posted.  Also,
as a hardening measure, r->write_event_handler is now reset to a no-op
handler during active subrequest finalization.

The problem manifests itself in ngx_http_ssi_filter_module during
unbuffered proxying.  If a subrequest is created for an SSI include
statement while the main request has some data postponed by another
include, this subrequest becomes double-posted when the main request
data is flushed.  The first post comes from ngx_http_subrequest() and
the second one comes from ngx_http_postpone_filter().  In case of a
quick subrequest finalization, the above mentioned problem happens.
