Move body length count to cowboy_stream_h instead of protocols 
The documentation was correct, the code was not.

This should make it easier to implement new protocols. Note that
for HTTP/2 we will need to add some form of counting later on to
check for malformed requests, but we can do simpler and just
reduce from the expected length and then check if that's 0 when
IsFin=fin.

= 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.
