This commit adds support for handling multiple requests simultaneously by introducing two new functions: `httpd_req_async_handler_begin()` and `httpd_req_async_handler_complete()`. These functions allow creating an asynchronous copy of a request that can be used on a separate thread and marking the asynchronous request as completed, respectively.
Additionally, a new flag `for_async_req` has been added to the `httpd_sess_t` struct to indicate if a socket is being used for an asynchronous request and should not be purged from the LRU cache.
An example have been added to demonstrate the usage of these new functions.

List of changes:
* When parsing requests, count termination from LF characters only
* Correct memcpy() length parameter in httpd_unrecv() (pointed out by jimparis in GitHub issue thread)
* Use ssize_t to store results of length subtractions during parsing
* Modify some comments to reduce ambiguity
Closes https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/3182
Added APIs :
* httpd_resp_send_err() : for sending HTTP error responses for error codes given by httpd_err_code_t. It uses TCP_NODELAY option to ensure that HTTP error responses reach the client before socket is closed.
* httpd_register_err_handler() : for registering HTTP error handler functions of type httpd_err_handler_func_t.
The default behavior, on encountering errors during processing of HTTP requests, is now to send HTTP error response (if possible) and close the underlying socket. User configurable handlers can be used to override this behavior for each error individually (except for 500 Internal Server Error).
Also fixed some typos.
Closes https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/3005
Note : In future consider deprecating usage of -1 for setting
buffer length equal to string length in APIs httpd_resp_send()
and httpd_resp_send_chunk()
* http_sess_set_*_override APIs are now the only ones available to set custom recv/send/pending functions
* Fixed side effects to using http_sess_set/get_context inside URI handlers
Changes:
- renamed `httpd_free_sess_ctx_fn_t` to `httpd_free_ctx_fn_t`
- added a `httpd_handle_t` argument to `httpd_send_func_t` and `httpd_recv_func_t`
- internal function `httpd_sess_get()` is no longer static, as it's used in other
files besides httpd_sess.c
Bug fixes:
- removed a trailing semicolon from `HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG()`
- fixed issue with failed `select()`, now it automatically closes invalid sockets
instead of shutting down the entire server
New features:
- `httpd_resp_send()` and `httpd_resp_send_chunk()` now accept -1 as length to use
`strlen()` internally
- added `httpd_sess_set_ctx()` to accompany `httpd_sess_get_ctx()`
- added a "transport context" to the session structure (next to user context)
- added `httpd_sess_{get,set}_transport_ctx()` to work with this transport context
- added "global user context" and "global transport context" stored in the server
config (and then the handle); supports a user-provided free_fn
- added a "pending func" to e.g. check for data in the transport layer receive
buffer
- added functions `httpd_set_sess_{send,recv,pending}_override()` that target
a session by ID (i.e. not using a request object)
- added `httpd_set_pending_override()`
- added a "open_fn" and "close_fn" - functions called when creating and closing
a session. These may be used to set up transport layer encryption or some other
session-wide feature
