net/http: server ResponseWriter should implement WriteString(string) error

[bradfitz]

I see people using io.WriteString(rw, s) in http server handlers.

I realize our ResponseWriter doesn't implement WriteString.  It could easily, and that
would then prevent io.WriteString from generating garbage.
