net/http: make NewRequest set empty Body nil, don't peek Read Body in Transport

This CL makes NewRequest set Body nil for known-zero bodies, and makes
the http1 Transport not peek-Read a byte to determine whether there's
a body.

Background:

Many fields of the Request struct have different meanings for whether
they're outgoing (via the Transport) or incoming (via the Server).

For outgoing requests, ContentLength and Body are documented as:

	// Body is the request's body.
	//
	// For client requests a nil body means the request has no
	// body, such as a GET request. The HTTP Client's Transport
	// is responsible for calling the Close method.
	Body io.ReadCloser

	// ContentLength records the length of the associated content.
	// The value -1 indicates that the length is unknown.
	// Values >= 0 indicate that the given number of bytes may
	// be read from Body.
	// For client requests, a value of 0 with a non-nil Body is
	// also treated as unknown.
	ContentLength int64

Because of the ambiguity of what ContentLength==0 means, the http1 and
http2 Transports previously Read the first byte of a non-nil Body when
the ContentLength was 0 to determine whether there was an actual body
(with a non-zero length) and ContentLength just wasn't populated, or
it was actually empty.

That byte-sniff has been problematic and gross (see #17480, #17071)
and was removed for http2 in a previous commit.

That means, however, that users doing:

    req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", url, strings.NewReader(""))

... would not send a Content-Length header in their http2 request,
because the size of the reader (even though it was known, being one of
the three common recognized types from NewRequest) was zero, and so
the HTTP Transport thought it was simply unset.

To signal explicitly-zero vs unset-zero, this CL changes NewRequest to
signal explicitly-zero by setting the Body to nil, instead of the
strings.NewReader("") or other zero-byte reader.

This CL also removes the byte sniff from the http1 Transport, like
https://golang.org/cl/31326 did for http2.
