Fixed handling of very long locations (ticket #2435).

Previously, location prefix length in ngx_http_location_tree_node_t was
stored as "u_char", and therefore location prefixes longer than 255 bytes
were handled incorrectly.

Fix is to use "u_short" instead.  With "u_short", prefixes up to 65535 bytes
can be safely used, and this isn't reachable due to NGX_CONF_BUFFER, which
is 4096 bytes.
