Andreas Kling 2c389ae96c RequestServer: Allow caching of HTTP responses with "Expires" header
Per RFC 9111, we're allowed to cache HTTP responses that don't have a
"Cache-Control" header, provided they do have an "Expires" header.

This lets us cache JavaScript resources on https://x.com/ and makes
it load much faster when cached.
