fix(workers-playground): send raw request method through the X-CF-HTTP-Method header

[edmundhung]

Fixes #7791.

This PR un-reverts #7791 which was made because of a bug upstream and is now fixed in #7793. We should verify it on the preview playground before merging this PR. I have tested this on the preview environment as described on this comment.

Here is what I have done to verify this change:

1. Deploying the changes to the preview playground using the preview:workers-playground label. You can find the preview playground link from the CI log.

2. To test this, I have updated the worker script with the following code:

export default {
  async fetch(request, env, ctx) {
    return new Response(request.method, {
      headers: {
        "request-method": request.method,
      },
    });
  },
};

You can also visit this link with the code updated.

3. Make some requests on the HTTP tab with different methods. This reason of this changes is to fix OPTIONS request. But we introduced another bug on GET / HEAD method while fixing this. We expect all the requests to the preview worker to response with the request method (except for HEAD request which will never include a body, but we can verify it with the request-method header.
