Zakaria El OrcheandClaude Sonnet 5 5a2aaf5a07 feat(core): HTTP/2 Phase 1 — HTTP/1.1 hardening and protocol negotiation
Fixes the request-smuggling and resource-exhaustion debt in the existing
HTTP/1.1 parser, and adds the ALPN/h2c-preface negotiation seam so a
connection's protocol is decided once, before any request is parsed, per
flash/docs/http2/IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md Phase 1.

Existing-code defects fixed (EX-nn):
- EX-02: reject Content-Length + Transfer-Encoding together (RFC 9112 6.1
  CL.TE/TE.CL smuggling), and conflicting duplicate Content-Length values.
- EX-03: strict, overflow-safe Content-Length parsing, replacing a parser
  that silently skipped non-digit bytes ("5abc" -> 5, "-1" -> 1).
- EX-07: header-read / idle-keep-alive / body-read timeouts enforced by an
  absolute deadline (dev.relism.flash.transport.BufferedByteSource), not
  merely Socket#setSoTimeout, which never trips against a peer trickling
  one byte per read within the window.
- EX-08: header count / name length / value length / request-line length
  bounds (Http1Limits), 431 on violation.
- EX-10: ChunkedInputStream now reads through BufferedByteSource instead
  of the raw unbuffered socket stream, and the header-parser's read-ahead
  bytes are handed over via a zero-copy prependOnce() instead of a
  SequenceInputStream/ByteArrayInputStream pair.
- EX-17: HttpStatus's status-code bound is computed from values() instead
  of a hand-maintained constant that silently threw
  ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when a code above it was added; added
  421, 431, 505, 507, 511 and others HTTP/2 and this hardening need.
- EX-18: bare-CR desync and obsolete line folding rejected.
- EX-30: the TLS handshake is forced explicitly, under a timeout, before
  any protocol decision -- SSLSocket#getApplicationProtocol() returned
  null until the handshake had run, and nothing previously forced it.
- EX-31: TLS 1.2 cipher suites on the RFC 9113 Appendix A blocklist are
  filtered out of a listener's enabled set whenever it offers h2 via ALPN.
- EX-35 (found in this phase): Transfer-Encoding values listing multiple
  codings ("gzip, chunked") were silently treated as not chunked at all,
  corrupting the message boundary -- only the whole value was compared.
- EX-36 (found in this phase): a header line with no ':' was silently
  skipped instead of rejected.

New:
- dev.relism.flash.transport.BufferedByteSource: the single buffered,
  deadline-aware, peekable view over a connection's inbound bytes.
- dev.relism.flash.transport.ProtocolNegotiator/NegotiatedProtocol: ALPN
  and h2c prior-knowledge detection. In this phase an H2 result is always
  closed cleanly -- there is no Http2Connection to hand off to until
  Phase 8. FlashConfiguration.http2Enabled gates the h2c preface peek.
- dev.relism.flash.exceptions.MalformedRequestException: a typed,
  status-carrying rejection distinct from HttpException, caught at the
  parse site so a malformed request never reaches the handler chain or
  the user's exception handler, and the connection is always closed.

Two small plan-document corrections recorded as DEC-12 (Phase 1's Files
list omitted BufferedByteSource.java and MalformedRequestException.java;
the request-line-length check description pointed at the wrong offset).
DEC-13/DEC-14 record the deadline and exception-hierarchy designs.

277/277 tests green (flash module), run twice for stability of the new
wall-clock-based HttpServerTimeoutTest cases. Whole-repo build green.
h1 benchmark regression check is left unverified in the plan's DoD: no
JMH harness exists yet (Phase 3 deliverable).
