HTTPResponse should not inherit from io.IOBase.
I'm not sure why I thought it should originally, but it introduces an
__del__() method on the response which cause the close() to be called
too soon using the HTTP compat class.
Also, remove some stale comments. The HTTPResponse calls makefile()
immediately, so there is no risk of it closing the socket.
