convert all log_error_write() to log_error() and pass (log_error_st *)
use con->errh in preference to srv->errh (even though currently same)
avoid passing (server *) when previously used only for logging (errh)
reject whitespace following request header field-name and before colon
Such whitespace is forbidden in RFC 7230 Section 3.2.4.
strict header parsing is enabled by default in lighttpd. However,
if explicitly disabled in lighttpd.conf, lighttpd will continue to
accept (and re-format) such field-names before passing to any backend.
UNSAFE: server.http-parseopts = ( "header-strict" => "disable" )
This is NOT RECOMMENDED since doing so disables other protections
provided by lighttpd strict http header parsing.

stricter request header parsing

Replace separators between folded header lines in-place using spaces
and then process the single header line.
(Reverts change which replaces folding whitespace with single space)

server.http-parseopts = ( ... ) URL normalization options
Note: *not applied* to CONNECT method
Note: In a future release, URL normalization likely enabled by default
(normalize URL, reject control chars, remove . and .. path segments)
To prepare for this change, lighttpd.conf configurations should
explicitly select desired behavior by enabling or disabling:
server.http-parseopts = ( "url-normalize" => "enable", ... )
server.http-parseopts = ( "url-normalize" => "disable" )
x-ref:
"lighttpd ... compares URIs to patterns in the (1) url.redirect and (2) url.rewrite configuration settings before performing URL decoding, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions, and obtain sensitive information or possibly modify data."

unit tests for request processing
collect existing request processing tests from Perl tests/*.t
(test_request.c runs *much* more quickly than Perl tests/*.t)
