net/http/httputil: make ReverseProxy send nil Body requests when possible
Brad Fitzpatrick authored
The http.Transport's retry can't retry requests with non-nil
bodies. When cloning an incoming server request into an outgoing
client request, nil out the Body field if the ContentLength is 0. (For
server requests, Body is always non-nil, even for GET, HEAD, etc.)

Also, don't use the deprecated CancelRequest and use Context instead.

And don't set Proto, ProtoMajor, ProtoMinor. Those are ignored in
client requests, which was probably a later documentation
clarification.

Fixes #16036
Updates #16696 (remove useless Proto lines)

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
