Loïc Hoguin f1c3b6d76f Breaking update of the cowboy_req interface
Simplify the interface for most cowboy_req functions. They all return
a single value except the four body reading functions. The reply functions
now only return a Req value.

Access functions do not return a Req anymore.

Functions that used to cache results do not have a cache anymore.

The interface for accessing query string and cookies has therefore
been changed.

There are now three query string functions: qs/1 provides access
to the raw query string value; parse_qs/1 returns the query string
as a list of key/values; match_qs/2 returns a map containing the
values requested in the second argument, after applying constraints
and default value.

Similarly, there are two cookie functions: parse_cookies/1 and
match_cookies/2. More match functions will be added in future commits.

None of the functions return an error tuple anymore. It either works
or crashes. Cowboy will attempt to provide an appropriate status code
in the response of crashed handlers.

As a result, the content decode function has its return value changed
to a simple binary, and the body reading functions only return on success.

Compressed response example

To try this example, you need GNU make and git in your PATH.

To build the example, run the following command:

$ make

To start the release in the foreground:

$ ./_rel/compress_response_example/bin/compress_response_example console

Then point your browser at http://localhost:8080.

A cowboy is an animal herder who tends cattle on ranches in North America,
traditionally on horseback, and often performs a multitude of other ranch-
related tasks. The historic American cowboy of the late 19th century arose
from the vaquero traditions of northern Mexico and became a figure of special
significance and legend. A subtype, called a wrangler, specifically tends the
horses used to work cattle. In addition to ranch work, some cowboys work for
or participate in rodeos. Cowgirls, first defined as such in the late 19th
century, had a less-well documented historical role, but in the modern world
have established the ability to work at virtually identical tasks and obtained
considerable respect for their achievements. There are also cattle handlers
in many other parts of the world, particularly South America and Australia,
who perform work similar to the cowboy in their respective nations.
