Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Upstream: reset parsing state after invalid status line
Previously, it was possible to start parsing headers with a wrong
parsing state after status line was not recognized, as a fallback
used in the scgi and uwsgi modules.
Reported by Leo Lin.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Upstream: fixed parsing of split status lines
If the first response line was split across reads and it didn't appear
a status line, the portion already processed was lost. To preserve ABI,
the change reuses r->header_name_start for proper backtracking on status
line fallback.
