This prevents this testcase from ruining the entire
testrun if it should fail critically.

The {error, enfile} return value is badly misleading and confusing for
this case, since the Posix ENFILE errno value has a well-defined meaning
that has nothing to do with Erlang ports. The fix changes the return
value to {error, system_limit}, which is consistent with e.g. various
file(3) functions. inet:format_error/1 has also been updated to support
system_limit in the same manner as file:format_error/1.

Allow applications to use a packet_size setting on a socket to control
acceptable HTTP header line length. This gives them the ability to
accept HTTP headers larger than the default settings allow, but also
lets them avoid DOS attacks by accepting header lines only up to
whatever length they wish to allow.
Without this change, if an HTTP request/response line or header
arrives on a socket in http, http_bin, httph, or httph_bin parsing
mode, and the request/response line or header is too long to fit into
a default inet_drv buffer of 1460 bytes, an unexpected error
occurs. These problems were described and discussed on
erlang-questions in June 2011 in this thread:
http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2011-June/059563.html
In the original code, no buffer reallocation occurs to enlarge the
buffer, even if packet_size or line_length are set in a way that
should allow the HTTP data to be parsed properly. The only available
workaround was to collect headers and parse them using
erlang:decode_packet, but that approach has drawbacks such as having
to collect all HTTP header data before it can be handed to
decode_packet for correct parsing, and also requiring each and every
Erlang web server developer/maintainer to add the workaround to his or
her web server.
Change the packet parser to honor the packet_size setting for HTTP
parsing. If packet_size is set, and an HTTP request/response or header
line exceeds the default 1460 byte TCP buffer limit, return an
indication to tcp_remain that it should realloc the buffer to enlarge
it to packet_size. Also fix the HTTP parsing code to properly honor
line_length by truncating any HTTP request/response or header lines
that exceed that setting.
For backward compatibility, default behavior is unchanged; if an
application wants to be able to accept long HTTP header lines, it must
set packet_size to an appropriate value. Buffer reallocation occurs
only when needed, so the original default buffer size in the code is
still the default.
Make the line mode parsing honor packet_size as well, for consistency.
Add new regression tests to the emulator decode_packet suite and also
to the kernel gen_tcp_misc suite.
The documentation for packet_size in inet:setopts/2 is already
sufficient.
Many thanks to Sverker Eriksson for his guidance on how to best fix
this bug and also for reviewing a number of patch attempts prior to
this one.

When the HTTP packet mode has been enabled for a socket,
the ssl and gen_tcp modules have different error indications
when there is an error while parsing the HTTP header:
ssl:recv(SSLSocket, 0) -> {ok, {http_error, _Str}}
gen_tcp:recv(Socket, 0) -> {error, {http_error, _Str}}
We have decided to change gen_tcp:recv/2 to behave the same
way as ssl:recv/2. That means that there will be always be
an ok tuple if data could be succefully read from the socket,
and an error tuple if there was a read error at the socket level.
