Fix erlang:decode_packet(httph_bin,..) to not return faulty header strings

Unrecognized Http header names was sometimes returned as corrupt
sub-binaries pointing to a stack allocated buffer. This only happened
on 32-bit VM if the header name was between 16 and 20 characters
long. It could in some cases lead to segmentation fault.
The solution was to avoid creating sub-binary if the returned string
was not part of the original binary.
