NPE in NettyConnectListener

[jaredstehler]

Reopening #2124 to address original root cause:

the published fix for this actually doesn't solve the original issue;

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.asynchttpclient.netty.timeout.TimeoutsHolder.setResolvedRemoteAddress(java.net.InetSocketAddress)" because "timeoutsHolder" is null

we need a null guard for the timeoutsHolder var, bc future.getTimeoutsHolder(); can return null (i.e. if cancelTimeouts() is called)

i'm still seeing this error with ahc 3.0.9 (netty 4.2.9):
