net, net/http: adjust time-in-past constant even earlier
The aLongTimeAgo time value in net and net/http is used to cancel
in-flight read and writes. It was set to time.Unix(
233431200, 0)
which seemed like far enough in the past.
But Raspberry Pis, lacking a real time clock, had to spoil the fun and
boot in 1970 at the Unix epoch time, breaking assumptions in net and
net/http.
So change aLongTimeAgo to time.Unix(1, 0), which seems like the
earliest safe value. I don't trust subsecond values on all operating
systems, and I don't trust the Unix zero time. The Raspberry Pis do
advance their clock at least. And the reported problem was that Hijack
on a ResponseWriter hung forever, waiting for the connection read
operation to finish. So now, even if kernel + userspace boots in under
a second (unlikely), the Hijack will just have to wait for up to a
second.
Fixes #19747
