Lenient header value parsing
============================
Parsing with header value token checks off.
## Header value with lenient
<!-- meta={"type": "request-lenient-headers"} -->
```http
GET /url HTTP/1.1
Header1: \f
```
```log
off=0 message begin
off=0 len=3 span[method]="GET"
off=3 method complete
off=4 len=4 span[url]="/url"
off=9 url complete
off=14 len=3 span[version]="1.1"
off=17 version complete
off=19 len=7 span[header_field]="Header1"
off=27 header_field complete
off=28 len=1 span[header_value]="\f"
off=31 header_value complete
off=33 headers complete method=1 v=1/1 flags=0 content_length=0
off=33 message complete
```
## Second request header value with lenient
<!-- meta={"type": "request-lenient-headers"} -->
```http
GET /url HTTP/1.1
Header1: Okay
GET /url HTTP/1.1
Header1: \f
```
```log
off=0 message begin
off=0 len=3 span[method]="GET"
off=3 method complete
off=4 len=4 span[url]="/url"
off=9 url complete
off=14 len=3 span[version]="1.1"

off=38 message begin
off=38 len=3 span[method]="GET"

off=66 len=1 span[header_value]="\f"
off=69 header_value complete
off=71 headers complete method=1 v=1/1 flags=0 content_length=0

```
## Header value without lenient
<!-- meta={"type": "request"} -->
```http

off=19 len=7 span[header_field]="Header1"
off=27 header_field complete
off=28 len=0 span[header_value]=""
off=28 error code=10 reason="Invalid header value char"
```
