Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#27949: http: update libevent workaround to correct version

79d343a http: update libevent workaround to correct version (stickies-v)

Pull request description:

  The libevent bug described in libevent/libevent@5ff8eb2 was already patched in [release-2.1.9-beta](https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/tag/release-2.1.9-beta), with cherry-picked commits [5b40744d1581447f5b4496ee8d4807383e468e7a](libevent/libevent@5b40744) and [b25813800f97179b2355a7b4b3557e6a7f568df2](libevent/libevent@b258138).

  There should be no side-effects by re-applying the workaround on an already patched version of libevent (as is currently done in master for people running libevent between 2.1.9 and 2.1.12), but it is best to just set the correct version number to avoid confusion.

  This will prevent situations like e.g. in bitcoin/bitcoin#27909 (comment), where a reverse workaround was incorrectly applied to the wrong version range.
