TUN-7558: Flush on Writes for StreamBasedOriginProxy

In the streambased origin proxy flow (example ssh over access), there is
a chance when we do not flush on http.ResponseWriter writes. This PR
guarantees that the response writer passed to proxy stream has a flusher
embedded after writes. This means we write much more often back to the
ResponseWriter and are not waiting. Note, this is only something we do
when proxyHTTP-ing to a StreamBasedOriginProxy because we do not want to
have situations where we are not sending information that is needed by
the other side (eyeball).
