Opentelemetry-js: Update nock to v13 and use "delayConnection" instead of socketDelay

[obecny]

Nock in version 13 removed socketDelay in favour of delayConnection. So to upgrade to v13 we have to change some unit tests.

My progress is available in this (very outdated) pull request: #1504. As its description says, the major release changed the expected behavior and some tests can no longer be reproduced.

To simulate several specific scenarios, I had to replace some setup blocks that were using nock with custom http servers. I was close to fixing them all when I ran into a bug in the code itself (not the tests).

I do not remember the cases properly, but they were related to the aborted event on request object and some specific versions of Node.js. In those days, the project was still using Circle CI and I had some problems that did not allow me to take a look at the errors.

I remember it as a tricky good first issue despite it seems very trivial at first sight. Fortunately, the project has evolved a lot since then. Anyway, I will have free time this month, so feel free to ping me in case you need something else :hugs:
