reverseproxy: Add valid Upstream to DialInfo in active health checks (#6949)

Currently if we extract the DialInfo from a Request Context during an active health check, then the Upstream in the DialInfo is nil.

This PR attempts to set the Upstream to a sensible value, based on wether or not the Upstream has been overriden in the active health check's config.
