net/http: keep Content-Encoding in Error, add GODEBUG for ServeContent

This reverts the changes to Error from CL 571995, and adds a
GODEBUG controlling the changes to ServeContent/ServeFile/ServeFS.

The change to remove the Content-Encoding header when serving an error
breaks middleware which sets Content-Encoding: gzip and wraps a
ResponseWriter in one which compresses the response body.

This middleware already breaks when ServeContent handles a Range request.
Correct uses of ServeContent which serve pre-compressed content with
a Content-Encoding: gzip header break if we don't remove that header
when serving errors. Therefore, we keep the change to ServeContent/
ServeFile/ServeFS, but we add the ability to disable the new behavior
by setting GODEBUG=httpservecontentkeepheaders=1.

We revert the change to Error, because users who don't want to include
a Content-Encoding header in errors can simply remove the header
themselves, or not add it in the first place.

Fixes #66343
