net/http: unfurl persistConnWriter's underlying writer
Make persistConnWriter implement io.ReaderFrom, via an io.Copy on the
underlying net.Conn. This in turn enables it to use OS level
optimizations such as sendfile.
This has been observed giving performance gains even in the absence
of ReaderFrom, more than likely due to the difference in io's default
buffer (32 KB) versus bufio's (4 KB).
