The read buffer was changed into an iovec to avoid doing
too many binary concatenations and allocations.
Decompression happens transparently: when decoding gzip,
the content-encoding header is removed (we only decode
when "gzip" is the only encoding so nothing remains).
We always add a content_decoded key to the Req object.
This key contains a list of codings that were decoded,
in the reverse order in which they were. Currently it
can only be empty or contain <<"gzip">> but future
improvements or user handlers may see it contain more
values.
The option to disable decompression was renamed to
decompress_enabled and defaults to true.
It is no longer possible to enable/disable decompression
in the middle of reading the body: this ensures that the
data we pass forward is always valid.
Various smaller improvements were made to the code,
tests and manual pages.

I have decided not to include a manual page for
cowboy_stream_h at this point because it clashes
with the cowboy_stream manual page. This decision
will be revisited in the future.

This will be reintroduced in a future release once the
interface stabilizes. For the time being it will be an
internal module only.

Before this commit we had an issue where configuring a
Websocket connection was simply not possible without
doing magic, adding callbacks or extra return values.
The init/2 function only allowed setting hibernate
and timeout options.
After this commit, when switching to a different
type of handler you can either return
{module, Req, State}
or
{module, Req, State, Opts}
where Opts is any value (as far as the sub protocol
interface is concerned) and is ultimately checked
by the custom handlers.
A large protocol like Websocket would accept only
a map there, with many different options, while a
small interface like loop handlers would allow
passing hibernate and nothing else.
For Websocket, hibernate must be set from the
websocket_init/1 callback, because init/2 executes
in a separate process.
Sub protocols now have two callbacks: one with the
Opts value, one without.
The loop handler code was largely reworked and
simplified. It does not need to manage a timeout
or read from the socket anymore, it's the job of
the protocol code. A lot of unnecessary stuff was
therefore removed.
Websocket compression must now be enabled from
the handler options instead of per listener. This
means that a project can have two separate Websocket
handlers with different options. Compression is
still disabled by default, and the idle_timeout
value was changed from inifnity to 60000 (60 seconds),
as that's safer and is also a good value for mobile
devices.

In particular the cowboy_sub_protocol is subject to change soon.
Also the cowboy_stream behavior is going to be left hidden in
this release and enabled when it becomes easier to chain them.

It now links to all modules found in the manual and can therefore
easily act as an index for the application.

A few small revisions were made, and Erlang.mk has been updated.
