Vinnie Falco 2bf515069d Harmonize concepts and identifiers with net-ts (API Change):
fix #321

This synchronizes identifier names and some implementation details
with the Networking-TS document and reference implementation.
The following interfaces have changed:

* async_completion
* is_buffer_sequence (removed)
* is_const_buffer_sequence (was is_ConstBufferSequence)
* is_dynamic_buffer (was is_DynamicBuffer)
* is_mutable_buffer_sequence (was is_MutableBufferSequence)
* async_result (new)
* BEAST_HANDLER_TYPE macro (new)
* BEAST_INITFN_RESULT_TYPE macro (new)

Filename changes:

* async_result.hpp (was async_completion.hpp)

Vinnie Falco f47b66179e 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
