 Handle Range requests on streaming objects better.

 If the client sends [LO]-HI range, we trust it knows something we don't
 (yet),
 and do the Range request.  If we later ran out of data, we close the
 session.

 Other range requests on streaming objects are ignored.

 Fixes: #1506
 Fixes: #1618
