I've been thinking on how Puma should behave when the early hints
can't be sent because the connection has been lost.
I first thought that it should behave the same way it does when the
connection is lost before main response is sent, I've seen that it
swallows those errors (https://git.io/fjVtg) so perhaps we should do
the same here.
There's one consideration though. Because the early hints are sent at
the very beginning of the app execution, we may want to abort this
request altogether and save resources by throwing an exception and
causing Rails to interrupt execution.
Finally I decided to overlook that case just because I believe it's
least surprising from the Rack app point of view. Also
I haven't seen any other example of the web server interrupting
the apps execution due to an error on the lower layer.
Fixes #1640.
