There is no way to disable SNI extension when sending a request to HTTPS
server. Setting `options.servername` to a falsy value would make Node.js
core override it with either hostname or ip address.
This change introduces a way to disable SNI completely if this is
required for user's application. Setting `options.servername` to ``
in `https.request` would disable overrides and thus disable the
extension.

https requests with different SNI values should not be sent over the
same connection, even if the `host` is the same. Server may want to
present different certificate or route the incoming TLS connection
differently, depending on the received servername extension.
