Reject interior blanks in Content-Length value.

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.
