HTTP/2: fixed buffer management with HTTP/2 auto-detection.

As part of normal HTTP/2 processing, incomplete frames are saved in the
control state using a fixed size memcpy of NGX_HTTP_V2_STATE_BUFFER_SIZE.
For this matter, two state buffers are reserved in the HTTP/2 recv buffer.

As part of HTTP/2 auto-detection on plain TCP connections, initial data
is first read into a buffer specified by the client_header_buffer_size
directive that doesn't have state reservation.  Previously, this made it
possible to over-read the buffer as part of saving the state.

The fix is to read the available buffer size rather than a fixed size.
Although memcpy of a fixed size can produce a better optimized code,
handling of incomplete frames isn't a common execution path, so it was
sacrificed for the sake of simplicity of the fix.
