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.
