Implement mg_http_parse_header2()

Which is a replacement of (deprecated) `mg_http_parse_header`, but,
similarly to `asprintf`, allocates a new buffer if the client-provided
one is not large enough.

Also use it throughout mongoose code, and thus some header-related
limitations are removed; in particular,
https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/issues/813 is fixed.

CL: Mongoose Web Server: Deprecate `mg_http_parse_header()` and implement `mg_http_parse_header2()` instead, which allocates a new buffer if the client-provided one is not large enough (similarly to `asprintf`).
CL: Mongoose Web Server: Fix limitations of header value lengths, e.g. when parsing authentication headers such as nonce, etc.

Parses the HTTP header `hdr`. Finds variable `var_name` and stores its value
in the buffer `buf`, `buf_size`. Returns 0 if variable not found, non-zero
otherwise.
DEPRECATED: use mg_http_parse_header2() instead.
This function is supposed to parse cookies, authentication headers, etc.
Example (error handling omitted):
char user[20];
struct mg_str *hdr = mg_get_http_header(hm, "Authorization");
mg_http_parse_header(hdr, "username", user, sizeof(user));
Returns the length of the variable's value. If buffer is not large enough,
or variable not found, 0 is returned.
Same as mg_http_parse_header2(), but takes buffer as a `char *` (instead of
`char **`), and thus it cannot allocate a new buffer if the provided one
is not enough, and just returns 0 in that case.
