Subject: erts: Remove truncation of http packet parsing and return error

For backward compatibility of old users of decode_packet, I think it's enough
to return error instead of keeping the old line truncation behaviour.

is longer than the max allowed length, the packet is
considered invalid. The same happens if the packet header
is too big for the socket receive buffer.
+ For line oriented protocols (line,http*),
+ option packet_size also guarantees that lines up to the
+ indicated length are accepted and not considered invalid due
+ to internal buffer limitations.
