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.

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.
