Philip Conrad c5706eef7c server+util: Limit max request sizes, prealloc request buffers (#6868)
This commit introduces a few major changes:
 - (Breaking change) Limits now exist for maximum request body sizes.
 - Buffers are preallocated for reading request bodies.
 - Buffers are preallocated for decompressing request bodies.
 - Gzip decoder instances are reused in a `sync.Pool` across requests.

The effect on garbage collection is dramatically fewer GC pauses, giving
a roughly 9% RPS improvement in load tests with gzipped request bodies.
For larger request sizes, the number of GC pauses is dramatically
reduced, although the peak pause time may increase by a few percent.

Implementation notes:
 - The DecodingLimits handler enforces the max request body size both
   through a Content-Length check, and a MaxBytesReader wrapper around
   the payload.
 - The DecodingLimits handler passes the gzip payload size limit down
   using a context key.

// Package decoding implements the configuration side of the upgraded gzip
// decompression framework. The original work only enabled gzip decoding for
// a few endpoints-- here we enable if for all of OPA. Additionally, we provide
// some new defensive configuration options: max_length, and gzip.max_length.
// These allow rejecting requests that indicate their contents are larger than
// the size limits.
//
// The request handling pipeline now looks roughly like this:
//
// Request -> MaxBytesReader(Config.MaxLength) -> ir.CopyN(dest, req, Gzip.MaxLength)
//
// The intent behind this design is to improve how OPA handles large and/or
// malicious requests, compressed or otherwise. The benefit of being a little
// more strict in what we allow is that we can now use "riskier", but
// dramatically more performant techniques, like preallocating content buffers
// for gzipped data. This also should help OPAs in limited memory situations.
