Loïc Hoguin 0424724062 Update manual for the cowboy module 
This commit separates the documentation of the functions into
separate manual pages, with at least one example per function
and a lot more details about parameters, return values and
related functions and modules. It also includes a changelog
indicating when the function was added or changed.

The inspiration for this comes mainly from the PHP documentation
and feedback from users.

Cowboy

Cowboy is a small, fast and modular HTTP server written in Erlang.

Goals

Cowboy aims to provide a complete HTTP stack in a small code base. It is optimized for low latency and low memory usage, in part because it uses binary strings.

Cowboy provides routing capabilities, selectively dispatching requests to handlers written in Erlang.

Because it uses Ranch for managing connections, Cowboy can easily be embedded in any other application.

Cowboy is clean and well tested Erlang code.

Sponsors

The project is currently sponsored by Sameroom.

The original SPDY implementation was sponsored by LeoFS Cloud Storage. It has since been superseded by HTTP/2.
