net/http: don't cancel Dials when requests are canceled

Currently, when a Transport creates a new connection for a request,
it uses the request's Context to make the Dial. If a request
times out or is canceled before a Dial completes, the Dial is
canceled.

Change this so that the lifetime of a Dial call is not bound
by the request that originated it.

This change avoids a scenario where a Transport can start and
then cancel many Dial calls in rapid succession:

  - Request starts a Dial.
  - A previous request completes, making its connection available.
  - The new request uses the now-idle connection, and completes.
  - The request Context is canceled, and the Dial is aborted.

Fixes #59017
