Previously we sat and looped to dump a file over http protocol.
Actually that's a source of blocking to the other sockets being serviced.
This patch breaks up the file service into a roundtrip around the poll()
loop for each 512-byte packet. It doesn't make much difference if the
server is idle, but if it's busy it makes sure everyone else is getting
service while the file is sent.
It doesn't try to optimize multiple users of the file or to keep the
descriptor open, the point of this patch is to establish the breaking up
of the file send action into the poll loop.
On the user side, there are two differences:
- context is now needed in the first argument to libwebsockets_serve_http_file()
that's not too bad since we provide context in the callback.
- file send is now asynchronous to the user code, you get a new callback coming
in protocol 0 when it's done, LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_FILE_COMPLETION
libwebsockets-test-server is updated accordingly.

the -extpoll version of the test server was starting to rot compared to
the test-server.c it was originally based on.
This patch deletes the -extpoll.c version and instead has the test-server.c
source built two different ways in the makefile, once with the define
EXTERNAL_POLL which forces non-fork mode and enables the "by hand"
pollfd array handling. The resulting binary of that is still called
libwebsockets-test-server-extpoll.
Another problem was that the pollfd array length needs to match MAX_CLIENTS, that
now happens during the build.

Previous method of shifting back array by one to cover the deleted
item could be expensive when the list was large and the deleted item
appeared early in it.
This scheme swaps the last guy into the vacant space and reduces the
list size by one.
(AG adapted for style and not to care if n is end guy)

"4b0e01f Retry SSL_connect when SSL_get_error requests it. " from David Galeano
noticed the problem that client connect may receive SSL_ERROR_WANT_* from
SSL_connect, which is basically WOULDBLOCK. That patch tried to deal with it
by blocking in a while(1) until the condition went away.
That's problematic because of it blocks service of anything else (including
the host application sockets in the external socket poll sharing case) for
up to 5s controlled by conditions at one client.
After fiddling with and researching this, the actual problem with the code is
we are not getting the SSL layer error correctly, it is not contained in the
code returned from the Connect api directly.
I was unable to get a renegotiation forced on my modern SSL libs, it complained
about protocol error are reopened the connection instead. So I think the stuff
found in the docs and the web about the SSL_ERROR_WANT_ is probably not something
we will see in reality (if we check the right error code...)

I run a web socket server that requires clients to present a certificate.
context_ssl_ = libwebsocket_create_context(wssPort_, wssIpAddr_.c_str(), protocols_ssl,
libwebsocket_internal_extensions,
cert_path.c_str(), key_path.c_str(), -1, -1,
LWS_SERVER_OPTION_REQUIRE_VALID_OPENSSL_CLIENT_CERT);
I am getting a crash in the OpenSSL_verify_callback().
The SSL_get_ex_data() call is returning NULL
I could not find a call to SSL_set_ex_data() for server mode operation.
Has anyone seen this crash in the newer versions?

Some of the advice in README.rst became deprecated with recent patches,
the (good) advice about http connection close is better demonstrated
in the code and API docs, and the remainder can go in the main README,
which will have to be refactored itself at some point.

This patch allows control of the main compiletime constants in libwebsockets
from the configure commandline.
README is updated with documentation on what's available, how to set them
and the defaults.
The constants are logged with "info" severity (not visible by default) at
context create time.
The zlib constant previously exposed like this is moved to private-libwebsockets.h
so it can be printed along with the rest.

This reverts the removal of the deflate_frame code that was crashing after porting
David Galeano's code: he pointed out there's a typo in the merged version causing
the crash which is fixed here.
However the fixed code has a problem, there's no limit (other than int size) to the
amount of memory it will try to malloc, which can allow a DoS of the server by the
client sending malicious compression states that inflate to a large amount. I have
added checking for OOM already that will avert the segfault that would otherwise follow
but the server will be unusuable if malicious connections were made repeatedly each
forcing it to allocate large buffers and cause small allocations on other connections
to fail.
The patch changes the code to use realloc(), and introduces a configurable limit
on the amount of memory one connection may need for zlib before the server hangs
up the connection. It defaults to 64KBytes but can be set from ./configure as
described now in the README.

- multiple debug context calls lwsl_ err, warn, debug, parser, ext, client
- api added to set which contexts output to stderr using a bitfield log_level
- --disable-debug on configure removes all code that is not err or warn severity
- err and warn contexts always output to stderr unless disabled by log_level
- err and warn enabled by default in log_level

Here testing with the test serer and chrome 25, the buffer expansion
code on Rx was triggered by a valid no data output condition and looped
until it exhausted all memory.
This patch adds OOM check to all malloc()s and removes the buffer expansion
code on the rx path... leaving the code on tx path for now.
