bloqaudio f5e4fa5134 httpd: buffer a plain POST body that arrives after the headers
A POST /cmd whose body arrives in a separate TCP segment from the headers
executed nothing: handle_post() read the body from the segment that
carried the request line, found it empty, and answered 200 OK. Python's
urllib and requests both write headers and body separately, so every
scripted command from those clients became a silent no-op. POST /login had
the same hole. The multipart endpoints were fixed earlier; this covers the
plain ones.

When the first segment holds fewer body bytes than Content-Length
announces, the bytes accumulate in config_buf (idle outside multipart
uploads) and the connection waits in TSTATE_POSTBODY; once the announced
length is in, the endpoint runs against the buffer. The /cmd and /login
executions move into run_cmd_body() and run_login_body() so both paths
share them; the 200 OK builder they duplicated becomes send_ok(), and
run_login_body() checks the pwd= prefix instead of skipping four bytes
blindly.

The announced length is the contract on both paths. A body that arrives
with the headers is terminated at Content-Length before it runs, so
pipelined bytes after it are not executed as commands the way the old
code did. A request without a usable Content-Length answers 411: without
one there is no way to know when the body has arrived, and the old 200
OK for an empty body is the bug this fixes. Bodies announced at or above
the buffer size answer 400 before anything is buffered.

The wait state has a deadline. uIP is built with a single connection,
and an ESTABLISHED connection with nothing in flight never times out on
its own, so headers followed by silence (a script interrupted, a link
dropped mid-request, or someone holding the socket on purpose) would
otherwise keep the slot until reboot; POST /login reaches the wait
before authentication. The poll handler aborts the connection when the
body has made no progress for five seconds, measured on the 200 Hz
system tick rather than on poll count, which runs faster under interrupt
load.
