Vinnie Falco a52914175b Refactor http::header contents (API Change):
fix #124

The http::header data members "method", "url", and "reason"
are changed from data members, to pairs of get and set
functions which forward the call to the Fields type used
to instantiate the template.

Previously, these data members were implemented using
std::string. With this change, the implementation of the
Fields type used to instantiate the template is now in
control of the representation of those values. This permits
custom memory allocation strategies including uniform use of
the Allocator type already provided to beast::http::basic_fields.

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

Vinnie Falco c309f53ed2 Distinguish HTTP/1 messages from general HTTP messages:
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.

Vinnie Falco a0b04bdff2 Refactor beast core, http, tests, and examples:
* 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
