Parse request body

[clue]

We should provide an easier way to access the parsed request body, i.e. $_POST values from HTML forms, file uploads etc.

This depends on detecting actual message lengths first, see #104.

I'm filing this mostly for the reference, there's been some discussion to wait for PSR-7 message support (#28) first.

For the reference: Parts of this had been implemented on the master branch but had to be reverted due to licensing and blocking issues, see #59 for more details.

Some projects have started to build on top of this, so we're currently providing a dev branch for this: https://github.com/reactphp/http/tree/streaming-multipart. See also #41 for more details. Note that this is development preview only and we can only provide limited support for this.

In other words: If you run into issues with this branch, please refrain from opening new issues and comment on the respective PRs instead.

It's very likely the future version will look somewhat different than this development preview, so please think twice before relying on this 👍

Rest assured, we're working on hard on providing a stable base for this soon. Bear with us and we'll keep this ticket updated 👍

+1 for keeping the ability to access plain body. Otherwise it becomes horribly cumbersome to interface e.g. with symfony/httpkernel (observed as problem in php-pm/php-pm#203)

@andig without any doubt we will allow users to have access to the raw body
