BUG/MEDIUM: h1-htx: Never copy more than the max data allowed during parsing
A bug during H1 data parsing may lead to copy more data than the maximum
allowed. The bug is an overflow on this max threshold when it is lower than
the size of an htx_blk structure.
At first glance, it means it is possible to not respsect the buffer's
reserve. So it may lead to rewrite errors but it may also block any progress
on the stream if the compression is enabled. In this case, the channel
buffer appears as full and the compression must wait for space to
proceed. Outside of any bug, it is only possible when there are outgoing
data to forward, so the compression filter just waits. Because of this bug,
there is nothing to forward. The buffer is just full of input data. Thus
nothing move and the stream is infinitly blocked.
To fix the bug, we must be sure to be able to create an HTX block of 1 byte
without exceeding the maximum allowed.
This patch should fix the issue #2053. It must be backported as far as 2.5.
