Subject: [PATCH] http: return error when receiving too large header set

To avoid abuse. The limit is set to 300 KB for the accumulated size of
all received HTTP headers for a single response. Incomplete research
suggests that Chrome uses a 256-300 KB limit, while Firefox allows up to
1MB.

Closes #11582

(cherry picked from commit 3ee79c1674fd6f99e8efca52cd7510e08b766770)
