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 db68ce4d97 Add HTTP field value parsers:
ext_list:
    Iterable container of comma separated extensions, where each extension
    is a token followed an optional list of semicolon delimited parameters,
    with each parameter consisting of a name / value pair. The value can
    be a token or quoted-string.

param_list:
    Iterable container of semicolon delimited parameters, where each parameter
    is a name / value pair. The value can be a token or quoted-string.

token_list
    Iterable container of comma delimited tokens.

* Remove obsolete rfc2616 functions

* Refactor and consolidate case-insensitive string helpers
