Proxies a given request to a given upstream http server. The path prefix
in `mount` will be stripped of the path requested to the upstream server,
e.g. if mount is /api and upstream is http://localhost:8001/foo
then an incoming request to /api/bar will cause a request to
http://localhost:8001/foo/bar

EXPERIMENTAL API. Please use http_serve_http + url_rewrites if a static
mapping is good enough.
