reverseproxy: Revert #4952 - don't ignore context cancellation in stream mode

i.e. Revert commit f5dce84

Two years ago, the patch in #4952 was a seemingly necessary way to fix an issue (sort of an edge case), but it broke other more common use cases (see #6666).

Now, as of #6669, it seems like the original issue can no longer be replicated, so we are reverting that patch, because it was incorrect anyway.

If it turns out the original issue returns, a more proper patch may be in #6669 (even if used as a baseline for a future fix). A potential future fix could be an opt-in setting.
