deps: reject interior blanks in Content-Length

Original commit message follows:

    Before this commit `Content-Length: 4 2` was accepted as a valid
    header and recorded as `parser->content_length = 42`.  Now it is
    a parse error that fails with error `HPE_INVALID_CONTENT_LENGTH`.

    Downstream users that inspect `parser->content_length` and naively
    parse the string value using `strtoul()` might get confused by the
    discrepancy between the two values.  Resolve that by simply not
    letting it happen.
