Proposal about content-size and hash

[John Cowan]

This is wonderful and just what I need for Dioscuri, which needs to be able
to return new content as the URL where it is now stored.  I was going to do
that with a new response code, but this is much better.

The Dioscuri spec is at <tinyurl.com/dioscuri-spec>.   Reviews are
welcome.  And it does include content-length, because TLS 1.2 is not able
to close just one side of a connection.
