Fetch an HTTP form variable.

Fetch a variable `name` from a `buf` into a buffer specified by
`dst`, `dst_len`. Destination is always zero-terminated. Return length
of a fetched variable. If not found, 0 is returned. `buf` must be
valid url-encoded buffer. If destination is too small, `-1` is returned.
