In Starlette/ASGI, request headers are case-insensitive and retain hyphens. Update get_ipaddr to inspect 'x-forwarded-for', support multiple proxy IPs, and maintain backward compatibility with legacy underscore usage. Fixes laurentS#306

In Starlette / ASGI,
request.headerslowercases header keys and retains hyphens. The previous implementation checked for"X_FORWARDED_FOR", causing standard reverse proxy headers (X-Forwarded-For) to be ignored and falling back to the proxy's IP.This PR:
"x-forwarded-for"header."x_forwarded_for").X-Forwarded-Forcontains a comma-separated list of proxies.request.client.host(or"127.0.0.1") if the header is missing or empty.tests/test_util.py.Fixes #306
