[git commit] httpd: do not percent-decode URI if proxying

commit: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=bae8f7eaf2997938615ed4282d6d93d3aa1f3fc1
branch: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The proxying is documented as follows:

P:/url:[http://]hostname[:port]/new/path

Howeverm urlcopy is not a true copy anymore when it is fdprint'ed
to proxy_fd, this is because percent_decode_in_place() is called
after the copy is created.

This breaks reverse proxying all URIs containing percent
encoded spaces, e.g. - because a decoded URI will be printed out
to proxy_fd instead of the original.

The fix keeps the logic in place to canonicalize the uri first,
before reverse proxying (one could argue that the uri
should be proxied completely unaltered, except for the prefix
rewrite).
