net/http: reuse HTTP/1 Transport conns more for gzipped responses
Flip around the composition order of the http.Response.Body's
gzip.Reader vs. the reader which keeps track of waiting to see the end
of the HTTP/1 response framing (whether that's a Content-Length or
HTTP/1.1 chunking).
But because bodyEOFSignal was waiting to see an EOF from the
underlying gzip.Reader before reusing the connection, and gzip.Reader
(or more specifically: the flate.Reader) wasn't returning an early
io.EOF with the final chunk, the bodyEOfSignal was never releasing the
connection, because the EOF from the http1 framing was read by a party
who didn't care about it yet: the helper bufio.Reader created to do
byte-at-a-time reading in the flate.Reader.
Now when gzip.Reader does its byte-at-a-time reading via the
bufio.Reader, the bufio.Reader will do its big reads against the
bodyEOFSignal reader instead, which will then see the underlying http1
framing EOF, and be able to reuse the connection.
