Oops, my bad. I've separated the patches now, and I'll attach just the
one that adds chunked encoding to uploads here. I'll put the others that
depend on this patch in separate threads and refer those threads to this
one.

In short, I made sure not to cause any compiler warnings with this
patch. I also made sure not to add anything to HTTPContext, instead
reusing chunksize and using URLContext::flags to determine the direction
of the connection.

Regression tests passed. Chunked encoding works with both uploads and
downloads.
