godoc/proxy: remove use of httputil.ReverseProxy for /share

ReverseProxy doesn't re-set the Request's Host field, only
Request.URL.Host.
The HTTP/2 client prefers Request.Host over Request.URL.Host, so this
results in the request being sent back to the host that originally
accepted the request.
This results in an infinite redirect (and consumption of many connections to
itself).
See Issue golang/go#28168 for details.

Replace it with a simple proxy that drops all the headers (except
Content-Type).

I tried setting the proxy.Director, but it still didn't work. Could do
with some more investigation.

Fixes golang/go#28134.
