A value that ends up in an HTTP header (the User-Agent, a headers entry) must
be a non-blank string of Latin-1 characters without control characters (tab is
allowed, as in HTTP). Node's HTTP layer would otherwise throw an opaque "Invalid
character in header content" at request time, and a custom transport would get
a CR/LF through (header injection). Checked by char code so the source stays
free of control bytes.
