fix: keep _body_receiver alive across the keepalive smuggling gate

The smuggling guard added in #3614 reads self._body_receiver after
_handle_http_request returns to refuse keepalive on a body that did
not finish framing.  But _handle_http_request's finally cleared the
receiver before returning, so the gate always saw None and let
keepalive proceed unconditionally.  Move the clear into the
connection loop's per-iteration cleanup (it already had one there
for the same purpose).

Adds an end-to-end regression test that pipelines a partial-body POST
followed by a smuggled GET and asserts the second request is not
served and the transport closes.

+"""End-to-end regression test for the keepalive smuggling guard.
+
+Drives an ``ASGIProtocol`` against a fake transport with two pipelined
+requests: the first POST advertises a Content-Length the client never
+finishes sending; the app returns a response without consuming the body.
+The protocol MUST refuse keepalive (close the transport) and MUST NOT
+parse the second request from residual body bytes.
+
+Without the fix this test surfaces, the smuggling guard added in PR #3614
+is silently bypassed because ``_handle_http_request`` clears
+``_body_receiver`` in its ``finally`` block before the connection loop's
+gate can read it.  See the commit that added this test for the fix.
