It is now possible to stream one or more sendfile tuples.
A simple example of what can now be done would be for
example to build a tar file on the fly using the sendfile
syscall for sending the files, or to support Range requests
with more than one range with the sendfile syscall.
When using cowboy_compress_h unfortunately we have to read
the file in order to send it. More options will be added
at a later time to make sure users don't read too much
into memory. This is a new feature however so existing
code is not affected.
Also rework cowboy_http's data sending to be flatter.
