Motivation:
The node.js HTTP parser library that we use has been unmaintained for some time. We should move to the maintained replacement, which is llhttp. This patch will update our dependency and bring us over to the new library, as well as make any changes we need.
Modifications:
This patch comes in 4 parts, each contained in a separate commit in the PR.
The first commit drops the existing http_parser code and updates some of the repo state for using llhttp.
The second commit rewrites the update script to bring in llhttp instead of http_parser.
The third runs the actual script. You can skip reviewing this except to sanity check the outcome.
The fourth commit updates the NIO code and the tests to get everything working.
In general the substance of the product modifications was minimal. The logic around keeping track of where we are in the buffer and how upgrades work has changed a bit, so that required some fiddling. I also had to add an error reporting path for the delegates to be able to throw specific errors that llhttp no longer checks for. Finally, I removed two tests that were a little overzealous and that llhttp does not police.
Result:
Back on the supported path.
Motivation:
Be able to run and test swift-nio on Android.
Modifications:
- Remove the custom ifaddrs and use the one from the Android NDK instead.
- Enable a bunch of conditionally-compiled code for Android.
- Add a handful of constants and other Android declarations.
- Cast some types because of mismatches specific to Android.
Result:
Most tests pass on Android AArch64 and ARMv7.

Motivation:
In performance tests was shown that the current base 64 encoding function doesn’t perform very well.
https://github.com/apple/swift-nio/issues/1322
Modifications:
This commit replaces the current Base64 implementation with a more performant one (by using UInt8 bytes instead of Unicode.Scalars).
Result:
The API will stay the same. Base64 encoding is just faster.
### Motivation:
make swift-nio compatible with Android, and pass all test in Android.
### Modifications:
* add missed `ifaddrs` implementation
* add missed thread related functions - `CNIOLinux_pthread_getname_np`, `CNIOLinux_pthread_setaffinity_np` and `CNIOLinux_pthread_getaffinity_np`
* fix types incositency between Linux and Android, e.g. `Epoll.swift` class
* make bytes counter explicitely 64bits to avoid overflow on 32bit, in `PendingWritesManager.swift` and `PendingDatagramWritesState.swift`
* fix issue with Unix domain socket, first byte need to be zero in Android
* several incosistency fixes between Linux and Android api.
### Result:
now swift-nio works on Android. All tests passed!
Motivation:
Websockets is a major protocol in use on the web today, and is
particularly valuable in applications that use asynchronous I/O
as it allows servers to keep connections open for long periods of
time for fully-duplex communication.
Users of NIO should be able to build websocket clients and servers
without too much difficulty.
Modifications:
Provided a WebsocketFrameEncoder and Decoder that can serialize and
deserialize Websocket frames.
Result:
Easier use of websockets.
