#452: Support for chunked transfers on client requests

HTTP/1.1 allows for clients to send chunked requests.
Varnish does not support this silently drops de content. It should support
chunked POST requests in order to be RFC compliant.
References:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.4
All HTTP/1.1 applications that receive entities MUST accept the "chunked"
transfer-coding (section 3.6), thus allowing this mechanism to be used for
messages when the message length cannot be determined in advance.
