d00f f23d840cee httpd: make the /cmd answer usable when a command fails or floods
Three ways the answer could mislead the caller, all in the paths that
matter most when something is wrong.

The capture sat in write_char(), so anything printed through
print_string_no_syslog() escaped it. That is exactly the replies of the
syslog commands, which deliberately avoid the syslog path: "syslog on"
answered with the bare address and no sentence around it, "syslog off"
answered with nothing at all. Moving the capture one level down, into
write_char_no_syslog(), catches both paths and costs nothing, since
write_char() reaches it anyway.

On a parse error send_bad_request() rewrote the buffer from the start,
throwing away the very text that explains the error and replacing it
with the 400 HTML page. Keeping the captured text and restating only the
status keeps the parser's own message; "400 NO" is as long as "200 OK",
so the header does not have to be rebuilt.

An overlong listing was cut at the buffer end with nothing to show for
it, so a clipped answer read as a short one. It now ends in a marker,
and the reserved room is accounted for in the guard.

While here: a command that configures something prints nothing, and an
empty body reads the same as "nothing ran", so a successful silent
command now answers "OK".
