net/http: handle 413 responses more robustly

When HTTP bodies were too large and we didn't want to finish
reading them for DoS reasons, we previously found it necessary
to send a FIN and then pause before closing the connection
(which might send a RST) if we wanted the client to have a
better chance at receiving our error response. That was Issue 3595.

This issue adds the same fix to request headers which
are too large, which might fix the Windows flakiness
we observed on TestRequestLimit at:
