erts: Increase length of well formed header names from {packet,http}
To ease matching of unrecognized header field names we convert them from case insensitive to the format Sec-Websocket-Version with capital letters only first and after hyphens. Earlier only header names up to 20 characters were converted to this format due to internal buffer limitation. Raising this limit to 50 is a pragmatic solution for existing long header names such as Sec-Websocket-Version, while valid header names longer than 50 characters are not very probable.
