Core Rule Set reads request bodies up to SWWAF_WAF_BODY_LIMIT (closes #116)
SWWAF_WAF_BODY_LIMIT (default off) has the Core Rule Set read form data
and multipart up to the limit, the rest streaming on, and JSON and XML no
larger than it; other bodies pass uninspected. The part read is held and
sent to the app ahead of the rest. The client has
SWWAF_CLIENT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT to send it, and a size or time limit met
while it is read ends the request before it reaches the app.
Content-Encoding is refused again on those four kinds. Rule 900300 moves
to phase 2, so it counts form and JSON fields past Coraza's 1000 too.

Judgement call: Content-Encoding is refused on a JSON or XML body too
large to be read, which SPEC.md allows.
