net/http/httputil: fix regression in ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP
In Go1.12 and below, the logic in ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP would always
allocate request.Header even if it were not present in the incoming request.
CL 174324 added http.Request.Clone and re-factors ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP
to use the new Clone method. However, the new Clone logic is not equivalent
to the former logic. We preserve former semantics by explicitly allocating
the Header map if nil.
Fixes #33142
