net/http: request fails when server replies with a short gzip body

[snaury]

When doing a request to a server that replies with a truncated gzip body the request
immediately fails with ErrUnexpectedEOF and writes "RoundTripper returned a
response & error; ignoring response" to the log. ErrUnexpectedEOF should only
happen when I try to read from the response body, so I have a chance to inspect headers
first.
