net/http: do not cancel request context on response body read

When sending a Request with a non-context deadline, we create a
context with a timeout. This context is canceled when closing the
response body, and also if a read from the response body returns
an error (including io.EOF).

Cancelling the context in Response.Body.Read interferes with the
HTTP/2 client cleaning up after a request is completed, and is
unnecessary: The user should always close the body, the impact
from not canceling the context is minor (the context timer leaks
until it fires).

Fixes #49366.
