Fix two edge cases for cowboy_req:stream_body 
Sending data of size 0 with the fin flag set resulted in nothing
being sent to the client and still considering the response to
be finished for HTTP/1.1.

For both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2, the final chunk of body that is
sent automatically by Cowboy at the end of a response that the
user did not properly terminate was not passing through stream
handlers. This resulted in issues like compression being incorrect.

Some tests still fail under 20.1.3. They are due to recent zlib
changes and should be fixed in a future patch release. Unfortunately
it does not seem to be any 20.1 version that is safe to use for
Cowboy, although some will work better than others.

= Cowboy

Cowboy is a small, fast and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP.

== 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.
