Unlike $upstream_response_length that only counts the body size,
the new variable also counts the size of response header and data
received after switching protocols when proxying WebSockets.
The change in b91bcba29351 was not enough to fix random() seeding.
On Windows, the srand() seeds the PRNG only in the current thread,
and worse, is not inherited from the calling thread. Due to this,
worker threads were not properly seeded.

If PCRE is disabled, captures were treated as normal variables in
ngx_http_script_compile(), while code calculating flushes array length in
ngx_http_compile_complex_value() did not account captures as variables.
This could lead to write outside of the array boundary when setting
last element to -1.

It fixes potential connection leak if some unsent data was left in the SSL
buffer. Particularly, that could happen when a client canceled the stream
after the HEADERS frame has already been created. In this case no other
frames might be produced and the HEADERS frame alone didn't flush the buffer.
Checking for return value of c->send_chain() isn't sufficient since there
are data can be left in the SSL buffer. Now the wew->ready flag is used
instead.
In particular, this fixed a connection leak in cases when all streams were
closed, but there's still some data to be sent in the SSL buffer and the
client forgot about the connection.
Particularly this fixes alerts on OS X and NetBSD systems when HTTP/2 is
configured over plain TCP sockets.
On these systems calling writev() with no data leads to EINVAL errors
being logged as "writev() failed (22: Invalid argument) while processing
HTTP/2 connection".
Previously, if the worker process exited, GOAWAY was sent to connections in
idle state, but connections with active streams were closed without GOAWAY.
This flag appeared in Linux 4.5 and is useful for avoiding thundering herd
problem.
The current Linux kernel implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters,
and queues an event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has
threads blocked on it via epoll_wait().
Now it is believed that the accept mutex brings more harm than benefits.
Especially in various benchmarks it often results in situation where only
one worker grabs all connections.
On non-aligned platforms, properly cast argument before left-shifting it in
ngx_http_v2_parse_uint32 that is used with u_char. Otherwise it propagates
to int to hold the value and can step over the sign bit. Usually, on known
compilers, this results in negation. Furthermore, a subsequent store into a
wider type, that is ngx_uint_t on 64-bit platforms, results in sign-extension.
In practice, this can be observed in debug log as a very large exclusive bit
value, when client sent PRIORITY frame with exclusive bit set:
: *14 http2 PRIORITY frame sid:5 on 1 excl:8589934591 weight:17
