Because of zero initialization, these assignments are unnecessary.

We won't add operator[] to StringRef.  This is because it may be
undefined if pos == size(), and StringRef's base + len does not point
to the valid region.  This solely depends on the given buffer, so we
cannot do anything to fix.  For workaround, if we need this kind of
operator, we may add it under another name, like char_at(size_type).

RFC 7540 says that proxy should not emit :authority when translating
HTTP/1 request in origin or asterisk form to HTTP/2.  To keep this
semantics in tact, we should also refrain from emitting :authority if
it is missing (host header field is required in this case).
