http/httpguts: speed up ValidHeaderFieldName

Eliminate bounds checks and eschews UTF-8 decoding in ValidHeaderFieldName,
thereby doubling its speed without introducing any allocations.
Also eliminate bounds checks in IsTokenRune.

Add tests and benchmarks for both ValidHeaderFieldName and IsTokenRune.
