Improve handling of pseudo-headers

- The canonical source for :method, :scheme and :path are the .method, .scheme
and .path attributes on the request object.
- These pseudo-headers are stripped after reading the request, and re-inserted
just before sending.
- The :authority header remains, and should be handled analagously to the Host
header in HTTP1 with respect to display and user interaction.
