feat: std.http read buffers grow on demand toward read_buf_cap

read_buf_cap is now the per-request LIMIT, not a preallocation: slots
start at 16K, double when full (one-step sizing when a Content-Length
declares the body), and keep their grown capacity for slot reuse. At
the limit the refusal distinguishes oversized headers (431) from an
oversized body (413). Unblocks A1: distd accepts multi-hundred-MB
artifact uploads — preallocating that per slot was never an option.
examples/1633 adds a body past the initial capacity echoing intact.
