[httpc] Wrong Host header in IPv6 HTTP requests.
When a URI with a IPv6 host is parsed, the brackets that encapsulates
the address part is removed. This value is then supplied as the host

A workaround for this is to use headers_as_is and provide the host
header with the requst call.

Also the manager did not create a monitor for the handler, so in an unforseen handler crash, this could also create a memory leak.

[httpc|httpd] http_chunk data handling/passing improvement.
This is a modification to the http_chunk module to forward any full chunk received, regardless of whether the size field for the following chunk has been received yet. This allows http_chunk to be used in situations where a long term HTTP connection is used to send periodic status updates as individual chunks. Previously a given chunk would not be forwarded to the client process until the size for the next chunk had been read which rendered the module difficult to use for the scenario described.

[httpc] Several more or less critical fixes:
Initial call between the httpc manager and request
handler was synchronous. When the manager starts a new request handler,
this is no longer a synchronous operation. Previously,
the new request handler made the connection to the
server and issuing of the first request (the reason
for starting it) in the gen_server init function.
If the connection for some reason "took some time",
the manager hanged, leaving all other activities by
that manager also hanging.

Previously, an attempt was made to check if the listing returned by the server was actually an error message. This was done by changing remote directory (cd) into the (assumed) "directory". This may work if Pathname was actually a directory, but as this is not always the case, this test does not work. Instead, we now return the actual server result and leave the interpretation to the caller.
