Better HTTP/1 connection reuse in Go 1.27

go.dev

Every new HTTPS connection costs several round trips before content moves: a TCP handshake to reach the server, then a TLS handshake to set up encryption. Go 1.27's HTTP client reuses idle HTTP/1 connections more aggressively, skipping most of that setup when programs make many requests. In the Go team's benchmark, 100 requests dropped from about 710 milliseconds to about 150.
