Willy Tarreau 32b51cdf30 BUG/MINOR: config: reject configs using HTTP with bufsize >= 256 MB
As seen in commit 5ef965606 ("BUG/MINOR: lua: use strlcpy2() not
strncpy() to copy sample keywords"), configs with large values of
tune.bufsize were not practically usable since Lua was introduced,
regardless of the machine's available memory.

In addition, HTX encoding already limits block sizes to 256 MB, thus
it is not technically possible to use that large a buffer size when
HTTP is in use. This is absurdly high anyway, and for example Lua
initialization would take around one minute on a 4 GHz CPU. Better
prevent such a config from starting than having to deal with bug
reports that make no sense.

The check is only enforced if at least one HTX proxy was found, as
there is no techincal reason to block it for configs that are solely
based on raw TCP, and it could still be imagined that some such might
exist with single connections (e.g. a log forwarder that buffers to
cover for the storage I/O latencies).

This should be backported to all HTX-enabled versions (2.0 and above).

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
  - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
  - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
  - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
  - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
  - doc/management.txt for the management guide
  - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
  - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
  - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
  - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
