wireproto: add config knob for http header length limit

Well-behaved Mercurial clients will respect the httpheader capability by not
sending http headers longer than the given limit in bytes. The limit is
currently hard-coded at 1024 bytes, a safe value for any web server.

Since parsing headers is a notable factor in web server performance, tuning
header size can nontrivially improve performance for request-heavy operations
(eg. obsolete marker negotiation). Exposing the maximum header length limit
as a configuration setting is a simple way to enable such tuning.

  $ hg init base

  $ cd base
  $ echo 'alpha' > alpha
  $ hg ci -A -m 'add alpha'
  adding alpha
  $ cd ..

  $ hg clone base work

  $ cd work
  $ echo 'beta' > beta
  $ hg ci -A -m 'add beta'
  adding beta
  $ cd ..

  $ cd base
  $ echo 'gamma' > gamma
  $ hg ci -A -m 'add gamma'
  adding gamma
  $ cd ..

  $ cd work
  $ hg pull -q
  $ hg merge

  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

Update --clean to revision 1 to simulate a failed merge:

  $ rm alpha beta gamma
  $ hg update --clean 1
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ cd ..
