Leonard Hecker 8048e9c3bc proxy: Added unbuffered request optimization
If only one upstream is defined we don't need to buffer the body.
Instead we directly stream the body to the upstream host,
which reduces memory usage as well as latency.
Furthermore this enables different kinds of HTTP streaming
applications like gRPC for instance.
