Copy HttpContext properties for long polling transport (#1684)

- The long polling transport simulates a persistent connection
over multiple http requests. In order to expose common http request
properties, we need to copy them to a fake http context on the first poll
and set that as the HttpContext exposed via the IHttpContextFeature.
