Normalize value-specific HttpHeaders deletions before filtering. The string overload previously used String#indexOf and removed shorter values contained within the requested deletion value, potentially widening outgoing request metadata.
Preserve delete-all behavior only when no value is supplied, and cover string, array, and empty-string deletion.
(cherry picked from commit f33ee95045)
Prevent lazy HttpHeaders and HttpParams clones from reusing value arrays owned by a materialized source. Append and value-specific delete operations previously mutated those shared arrays, violating the immutable API contract and allowing request metadata to bleed into later requests.
Share value arrays until an update mutates a specific header or parameter, then copy only that array. Cover the affected append and delete paths with regression tests that materialize the source first.
(cherry picked from commit ff02a16749)
when initialized from a `Headers` object containing multiple values for the same header, `HttpHeaders` now contains all the header values instead of only having one of them.

A lot of our tests are wrapped in `{}` which serves no purpose, aside from increasing the nesting level and, in some cases, causing confusion. The braces appear to be a leftover from a time when all tests were wrapped in a `function main() {}`. The function declaration was removed in #21053, but the braces remained, presumably because it was easier to search&replace for `function main()`, but not to remove the braces at the same time.

Some libraries could use numbers in headers. this fix prevents Angular from
throwing an error by casting those numerical values into strings.

HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
