Vinnie Falco 02d5aedc29 Refactor HTTP serialization and parsing (API Change):
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

* flat_streambuf to flat_buffer
* basic_flat_streambuf to basic_flat_buffer

Vinnie Falco e8be3fd7d3 New HTTP interfaces (API Change):
fix #123
fix #154
fix #265

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
