Subject: [PATCH] readers: add NoCloserNotify to find out when a request body
 has been closed

NoCloserNotify hides the Close method of the reader passed in like
NoCloser, but calls a notify function (once only) when the returned
body is closed. This lets callers of http.NewRequest find out when the
transport has finished with a request body, as it is documented to
possibly close it in a different goroutine after the request has
finished.
