fix#404
Parsing and serialization interfaces have been fine tuned and unified.
For parsing these stream operations are defined:
* read
* read_header
* read_some
* async_read
* async_read_header
* async_read_some
For serialization these stream operations are defined:
* write
* write_header
* write_some
* async_write
* async_write_header
* async_write_some
A new class `serializer` is introduced to permit incremental
serialization of HTTP messages. Existing free functions are
re-implemented in terms of this new class.
* The BodyReader concept is refined to support a greater variety
of strategies for providing buffers representing the body to
the serialization algorithms.
* Added buffer_body, a new model of Body which allows the caller
to provide a series of owned buffers using their own serialization
loop.
* Added empty_body, a model of Body which is for serialization only,
to represent HTTP messages with no content body.
* Removed overloads of write and async_write which send only
the HTTP header.
* Removed public interfaces for performing low-level chunk encoding.

This completely replaces the HTTP parser used to read and
parse incoming messages. The new version is faster than
the old one, and written in fewer lines. A summary of
changes:
* parse and async_parse renamed to read and async_read
* basic_parser is optimized for linear buffers,
use flat_streambuf for the best performance with these
functions:
- http::read
- http::read_some
- http::async_read
- http::async_read_some
* The overloads of read() and async_read() which take
just a header have been removed, since they would
throw away important parse metadata.
* The derived class callbacks for basic_parser have
been streamlined. All strings passed to callbacks
are presented in their entirety, instead of being
provided in pieces.
These changes allow use-cases that were previously
difficult or impossible, such as:
- Efficient relaying
- Late body type commitment
- Expect: 100-continue handling
The version field is moved into message_v1, all public interfaces
are reworked to identify HTTP/1 wire format operations (suffix "_v1")
versus general HTTP.
* Fix warnings
* Port cmake scripts to linux
* Add command line options for running test suites
* Add examples to CMakeLists
* Return std::uint64_t from writer::content_length
* basic_parser::write takes asio::const_buffer instead of pointer and size
* Turn message test back on now that it passes
* Rename to http::headers, use std::allocator, remove http_headers
* http::message::method is now a string
* Refactor to_string for ConstBufferSequence
* Remove chunk_encode from the public interface
* Initialize members for default constructed iterators
* Disallow default construction for dependent buffer sequences
Refactor http::message serialization:
* Serialization no longer creates a copy of the
headers and modifies them
* New function prepare(), sets Connection, Transfer-Encoding,
Content-Length based on the body attributes and caller options.
Callers can use prepare() to have the fields set automatically,
or they can set the fields manually.
* Use write for operator<<
* Tests for serialization
The basic_parser is rewritten to be header-only. The nodejs parser is
removed from the include subtree and placed into the test directory.
Other changes:
* Parser specific error codes in parse_error.hpp
* Add parser-bench performance testing, nodejs vs beast
* New random message generator for fuzz tests
* Test for header-only parser using random message generator
* Augmented some existing message tests to check more cases
