add support to disabe keepalive

[oryband]

If gin would've used http.Server, I could've just done the following:

// s is a http.Server instance
s.SetKeepAlivesEnabled(false)

But gin doesn't allow that. So, how do we accomplish this?

could be especially useful for scalable REST servers, so single-request connections don't linger.

https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin#custom-http-configuration

    router := gin.Default()

    s := &http.Server{
        Addr:           ":8080",
        Handler:        router, // < here Gin is attached to the HTTP server
    //  ReadTimeout:    10 * time.Second,
    //  WriteTimeout:   10 * time.Second,
    //  MaxHeaderBytes: 1 << 20,
    }
    s.SetKeepAlivesEnabled(false)
    s.ListenAndServe()

Gin (muxer) and the HTTP server work at different layers of abstraction.

@manucorporat amazing and simple. Thanks.

@manucorporat would be great if we you can specify, how to configure the custom timeout in seconds example: it node.js we can specify the keepalive timeout in seconds.
