remove passthrough and lazily load headers

Replaced passthrough stream with just using ReadableStream instead and
caching the controller instead of a WritableStream from a passthrough.

Also lazily construct the Headers instances on Request only when needed.

Together this results in about a 25% boost in requests per second and a
45% reduction in latency for our hello-world benchmark.
