Allow idiomatic usage of middlewares in gorilla/mux (#9802)

Historically due to lack of support for middlewares
we ended up writing wrapped handlers for all
middlewares on top of the gorilla/mux, this causes
multiple issues when we want to let's say

- Overload r.Body with some custom implementation
  to track the incoming Reads()
- Add other sort of top level checks to avoid
  DDOSing the server with large incoming HTTP
  bodies.

Since 1.7.x release gorilla/mux provides proper
use of middlewares, which are honored by the muxer
directly. This makes sure that Go can honor its
own internal ServeHTTP(w, r) implementation where
Go net/http can wrap into its own customer readers.

This PR as a side-affect fixes rare issues of client
hangs which were reported in the wild but never really
understood or fixed in our codebase.

Fixes #9759
Fixes #7266
