http: The big HTTP API refactoring of January 2025.v2.0.0-alpha.3http-client-trans

This represents a major change in the HTTP code base, consisting
of a complete revamp of the HTTP API. The changes here are too
numerous to mention, but the end result should be a vastly
simpler API for both server and client applications.

Many needless allocations were removed by providing fixed buffers
for various parameters and headers when possible.

A few bugs were fixed. Most especially we have fixed some bugs
around very large URIs and headers, and we have also addressed
conformance bugs to more closely conform to RFCs 9110 and 9112.

As part of this work, the APIs for WebSockets changed slightly
as well.  In particular the properties available for accessing
headers have changed.

There is still documentation conversion work to do, and additional
functionality (such as proper support for chunked transfers), but
this is a big step in the right direction.

-== NAME
-
-nng_http_hijack - hijack HTTP server connection
-
-== SYNOPSIS
-
-[source, c]
-----
-#include <nng/nng.h>
-#include <nng/supplemental/http/http.h>
-
-void nng_http_hijack(nng_http_conn *conn);
-----
-
-== DESCRIPTION
-(((HTTP, hijack)))
-The `nng_http_hijack()` function hijacks the connection _conn_, causing it
-to be disassociated from the HTTP server where it was created.
-
-The purpose of this function is the creation of HTTP upgraders (such as
-WebSocket), where the underlying HTTP connection will be taken over for
-some other purpose, and should not be used any further by the server.
-
-This function is most useful when called from a handler function.
-(See xref:nng_http_handler_alloc.3http.adoc[`nng_http_handler_alloc()`].)
-
-NOTE: It is the responsibility of the caller to dispose of the underlying
-connection when it is no longer needed.
-Furthermore, the HTTP server will no longer send any responses to the
-hijacked connection, so the caller should do that as well if appropriate.
-(See xref:nng_http_conn_write_res.3http.adoc[`nng_http_conn_write_res()`].)
-
-TIP: This function is intended to facilitate uses cases that involve changing
-the protocol from HTTP, such as WebSocket.
-Most applications will never need to use this function.
-
-== RETURN VALUES
-
-None.
-
-== ERRORS
-
-[horizontal]
-`NNG_ECLOSED`:: The connection was closed.
-`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient free memory exists.
-`NNG_ENOTSUP`:: HTTP not supported.
