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 e3848e7281 Refactor HTTP identifier names (API Change):
fix #171

Several names and  HTTP identifiers are renamed to be
more consistent, self-explanatory, and concise:

* "Fields" is a collection of HTTP header fields (rfc7230 section 3.2)
* "Header" is the Start Line plus Fields. Another way to look at it is,
  the HTTP message minus the body.
* `basic_fields` replaces `basic_headers`
* `fields` replaces `headers`
* `Fields` replaces `Headers` in template parameter lists
* `header` replaces `message_headers`
* `header::fields` replaces `message_headers::fields`

The changes are cosmetic and do not affect run-time behavior.
