Nicholas S. Husin 1179cfc9b4 net/http: prevent blocking when draining response body after it has been closed
Previously, draining the response body after it has been closed causes
Response.Body.Close to block for longer than it otherwise would. In a
worst-case scenario, this means that we are incurring a 50 ms delay for
each HTTP/1 request that we make.

This CL makes sure that a response body is drained asynchronously and
updates relevant documentations to reflect the current behavior.

For #77370
