net/http/httputil: always deep copy the Request.Header map in ReverseProxy

We used to do it sometimes as an optimization, but the optimization is
flawed: in all non-contrived cases we need to deep clone the map
anyway. So do it always, which both simplifies the code but also fixes
the X-Forward-For value leaking to the caller's Request, as well as
modifications from the optional Director func.

Fixes #18327
