Use { __proto__: null } instead of {} when initializing the
headersDistinct and trailersDistinct destination objects.
A plain {} inherits from Object.prototype, so when a __proto__
header is received, dest["__proto__"] resolves to Object.prototype
(truthy), causing _addHeaderLineDistinct to call .push() on it,
which throws an uncaught TypeError and crashes the process.
