net/http: optimize some io.Copy calls by reusing buffers
Optimize two calls of io.Copy which cannot make use of neither
io.ReaderFrom nor io.WriterTo optimization tricks by replacing them with
io.CopyBuffer with reusable buffers.
First is fallback call to io.Copy when server misses the optimized case
of using sendfile to copy from a regular file to net.TCPConn; second is
use of io.Copy on piped reader/writer when handler implementation uses
http.CloseNotifier interface. One of the notable users of
http.CloseNotifier is httputil.ReverseProxy.
