The Transport's automatic gzip uncompression lost information in the
process (the compressed Content-Length, if known). Normally that's
okay, but it's not okay for reverse proxies which have to be able to
generate a valid HTTP response from the Transport's provided
*Response.
Reverse proxies should normally be disabling compression anyway and
just piping the compressed pipes though and not wasting CPU cycles
decompressing them. So also document that on the new Uncompressed
field.
Then, using the new field, fix Response.Write to not inject a bogus
"Connection: close" header when it doesn't see a transfer encoding or
content-length.

Currently only used by the client. The server is not yet wired up. A
TODO remains to document how it works server-side, once implemented.

This is a subset of https://golang.org/cl/20022 with only the copyright
header lines, so the next CL will be smaller and more reviewable.
Go policy has been single space after periods in comments for some time.
The copyright header template at:
https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html#copyright
also uses a single space.
Make them all consistent.

The http package by default adds "Accept-Encoding: gzip" to outgoing
requests, unless it's a bad idea, or the user requested otherwise.
Only when the http package adds its own implicit Accept-Encoding header
does the http package also transparently un-gzip the response.
If the user requested part of a document (e.g. bytes 40 to 50), it appears
that Github/Varnish send:
range(gzip(content), 40, 50)
And not:
gzip(range(content, 40, 50))
The RFC 2616 set of replacements (with the purpose of
clarifying ambiguities since 1999) has an RFC about Range
requests (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7233) but does not
mention the interaction with encodings.
Regardless of whether range(gzip(content)) or gzip(range(content)) is
correct, this change prevents the Go package from asking for gzip
in requests if we're also asking for Range, avoiding the issue.
If the user cared, they can do it themselves. But Go transparently
un-gzipping a fragment of gzip is never useful.
