[release-branch.go1.6] net/http: TimeoutHandler should start timer when serving request

TimeoutHandler was starting the Timer when the handler was created,
instead of when serving a request. It also was sharing it between
multiple requests, which is incorrect, as the requests might start
at different times.

Store the timeout duration and create the Timer when ServeHTTP is
called. Different requests will have different timers.

The testing plumbing was simplified to store the channel used to
control when timeout happens. It overrides the regular timer.

Fixes #14568.

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.
