net/http: document that cancelling a request unblocks reads on the response body #26947

Description

@nhooyr

If you create a *http.Request, set a cancellable context on it, do the request and then begin reading the body, if you cancel the original context on the request, the read on the body will unblock. This is not documented anywhere afaik but is extremely useful behaviour.
