http2/hpack: fix memory leak in headerFieldTable lookup maps

An earlier performance change, https://golang.org/cl/37406,
made headerFieldTable lookups O(1). The entries in the maps used to perform
these lookups were not evicted along with the original field elements, however
causing a gradual memory leak. This is most apparent when the headers have
highly variable content such as request IDs or timings.

Fixes golang/go#19756
