The directive limits the number of request headers accepted from clients.
While the total amount of headers is believed to be sufficiently limited
by the existing buffer size limits (client_header_buffer_size and
large_client_header_buffers), the additional limit on the number of headers
might be beneficial to better protect backend servers.

This allows to process a port subcomponent and save it in r->port
in a unified way, similar to r->headers_in.server.  For HTTP/1.x
request line in the absolute form, r->host_end now includes a port
subcomponent, which is also consistent with HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

In addition to moving memcpy() under the length condition in 15bf6d8cc,
which addressed a reported UB due to string function conventions, this
is repeated for advancing an input buffer, to make the resulting code
more clean and readable.

Additionally, although considered harmless for both string functions and
additive operators, as previously discussed in GitHub PR 866, this fixes
the main source of annoying sanitizer reports in the module.

Prodded by UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer (pointer-overflow).

The $request_port variable contains the port passed by the client in the
request line (for HTTP/1.x) or ":authority" pseudo-header (for HTTP/2 and
HTTP/3).  If the request line contains no host, or ":authority" is missing,
then $request_port is taken from the "Host" header, similar to the $host
variable.

The $is_request_port variable contains ":" if $request_port is non-empty,
and is empty otherwise.

Missed in fcf4331a0.

Previously, it misused the Host header processing resulting in
400 (Bad Request) errors for a valid request that contains both
":authority" and Host headers with the same value, treating it
after 37984f0be as if client sent more than one Host header.
Such an overly strict handling violates RFC 9113.

The fix is to process ":authority" as a distinct header, similarly
to processing an authority component in the HTTP/1.x request line.
This allows to disambiguate and compare Host and ":authority"
values after all headers were processed.

With this change, the ngx_http_process_request_header() function
can no longer be used here, certain parts were inlined similar to
the HTTP/3 module.

To provide compatibility for misconfigurations that use $http_host
to return the value of the ":authority" header, the Host header,
if missing, is now reconstructed from ":authority".

No functional changes.

In some rare cases, graceful shutdown may happen while initializing an HTTP/2
connection.  Previously, such a connection ignored the shutdown and remained
active.  Now it is gracefully closed prior to processing any streams to
eliminate the shutdown delay.

As part of normal HTTP/2 processing, incomplete frames are saved in the
control state using a fixed size memcpy of NGX_HTTP_V2_STATE_BUFFER_SIZE.
For this matter, two state buffers are reserved in the HTTP/2 recv buffer.

As part of HTTP/2 auto-detection on plain TCP connections, initial data
is first read into a buffer specified by the client_header_buffer_size
directive that doesn't have state reservation.  Previously, this made it
possible to over-read the buffer as part of saving the state.

The fix is to read the available buffer size rather than a fixed size.
Although memcpy of a fixed size can produce a better optimized code,
handling of incomplete frames isn't a common execution path, so it was
sacrificed for the sake of simplicity of the fix.

To ensure that attempts to flood servers with many streams are detected
early, a limit of no more than 2 * max_concurrent_streams new streams per one
event loop iteration was introduced.  This limit is applied even if
max_concurrent_streams is not yet reached - for example, if corresponding
streams are handled synchronously or reset.

Further, refused streams are now limited to maximum of max_concurrent_streams
and 100, similarly to priority_limit initial value, providing some tolerance
to clients trying to open several streams at the connection start, yet
low tolerance to flooding attempts.
