proxy_pass: simplify writing request bodies upstream

The cost of extra branches inside a loop is negligible compared
to the cost of all the other method calls we make.  Favor
smaller code instead and inline some (now) single-use methods.

Furthermore, this allows us to reuse the request header buffer
instead of relying on thread-local storage and potentially
having to to swap buffers.
