MEDIUM: http-rules: Add wait-for-body action on request and response side

Historically, an option was added to wait for the request payload (option
http-buffer-request). This option has 2 drawbacks. First, it is an ON/OFF
option for the whole proxy. It cannot be enabled on demand depending on the
message. Then, as its name suggests, it only works on the request side. The
only option to wait for the response payload was to write a dedicated
filter. While it is an acceptable solution for complex applications, it is a
bit overkill to simply match strings in the body.

To make everyone happy, this patch adds a dedicated HTTP action to wait for
the message payload, for the request or the response depending it is used in
an http-request or an http-response ruleset. The time to wait is
configurable and, optionally, the minimum payload size to have before stop
to wait.

Both the http action and the old http analyzer rely on the same internal
function.
