Switch the HTTP protocol to use binary packets instead of lists.

The server now does a single recv (or more, but only if needed)
which is then sent to erlang:decode_packet/3 multiple times. Since
most requests are smaller than the default MTU on many platforms,
we benefit from this greatly.

In the case of requests with a body, the server usually read at
least part of the body on the first recv. This is bufferized
properly and used when later retrieving the body.

In the case of pipelined requests, we can end up reading many
requests in a single recv, which are then handled properly using
only the buffer containing the received data.
