Use bufio.Writer returned from hijack in upgrade

Reuse the buffer backing the bufio.Writer returned from hijack if that
buffer is large enough to be generally useful and
Upgrader.WriteBufferSize == 0.

Update the logic for reusing bufio.Reader returned from hijack to match
the logic for bufio.Reader:  The buffer backing the reader must be
sufficiently large to be generally useful and Upgrader.ReadBufferSize ==
0.

Improve the documentation for ReadBufferSize and WriterBufferSize in
Dialer and Upgrader.
