reverseproxy: reduce allocation/CPU overhead in request hot paths (#7925)

Build the Via request and response headers with strconv-based
concatenation instead of fmt.Sprintf, avoiding fmt's reflection and
formatting overhead on every proxied request/response. Same single
allocation, ~40% faster for that construction in isolation.

                 | before (fmt) |            after (strconv)          |
                 |    sec/op    |    sec/op     vs base               |
PrepareRequest-8 | 6.136µ ± 11% | 4.491µ ± 33%  -26.80% (p=0.007 n=10)|

B/op:     1008 -> 1008   (unchanged)
allocs/op:  12 -> 12     (unchanged)

No behavior change. Adds BenchmarkPrepareRequest, as per policy, exercising the
request preparation path.
