Xavier Roche fd2252dc8c Fix remote stack overflow and uninit read in Content-Type/-Encoding parsing (#506)
treathead() parsed the Content-Type and Content-Encoding response-header
values with a width-less sscanf("%s") into a 1100-byte stack scratch,
bounds-checking the result only after the copy. The receive path in
back_wait hands treathead a line buffer of up to 2000 bytes (htsback.c
rcvd[2048], binput cap 2000), so a hostile server sending a header value
longer than 1099 non-whitespace bytes overflowed the stack. Bound both
scans to the buffer (%1099s), matching the existing %31s/%255s idiom in
the request-line parsers.

The Content-Encoding branch also ignored the sscanf return, so an empty
value (e.g. "Content-Encoding:") left tempo uninitialized and then ran
strlen() over it: an uninitialized read that can also over-read past the
buffer. The Content-Type branch already guarded this; mirror it.

Found via the P3-3 static-analysis baseline. New -#test=headerlong plus
empty-value cases in 01_engine-header.test build the hostile inputs in
the handler (the CLI caps argument length); they abort on the pre-fix
binary under ASan (overflow) and MSan (uninitialized read).
