Fix README and docs pages that no longer match the code

Bring the READMEs and the docs pages (en and ja) in line with the
current header:

- Fix the client sample that does not compile, the Transfer-Encoding
  statement for default headers, the verifier callback comment, the
  thread pool spawn rule, the sanitize_filename description, and the
  inverted Accept-Encoding sentence.
- Describe recent behaviour: TLS errors behind Read/Write failures,
  Host validation, Connection: close for a body without length,
  content_reader rules, refused CONNECT, WebSocketClient proxies,
  CPPHTTPLIB_INTERIM_RESPONSE_MAX_COUNT, the SSE event size limit, and
  the payload limit of the Stream API.
- Complete the API references of WebSocket, WebSocketClient and the
  stream:: helpers, and the SSE reconnect rules.
- Fix cookbook pages: keychain loading on every backend, received Close
  status, a multipart sample that trusted the client's file name, an
  echo sample that sent binary as text, SNI, pre-request handler scope,
  stop() with WebSocket handlers, and the thread pool notes.
- Restore the mutex in the LLM app's Chapter 5 code.

To log the requests the server receives and the responses it returns, use `Server::set_logger()`. The callback fires once per completed request, making it the foundation for access logs and metrics collection.

The log callback receives both the `Request` and the `Response`. You can grab the method, path, status, client IP, headers, body — whatever you need.
`req.path` is percent-decoded, so it may contain control characters such as CR/LF. Escape it before writing it to a log file, or a crafted request can forge log lines.
## Access-log style format
Here's an Apache/Nginx-ish access log format.

```
For a response sent through a content provider, such as a file served from a mount point, `res.body` is empty here, so the size shows `0B`.
## Measure request time
To include request duration in the log, stash a start timestamp in `res.user_data` from a pre-routing handler, then subtract in the logger.

Since the logger runs before the response is written, the time doesn't include sending the body.

> **Note:** The logger runs synchronously on the same thread as request processing. Heavy work inside it hurts throughput — push it to a queue and process asynchronously if you need anything expensive.
