REVISION SUMMARY
  Per PEP-3333, the input stream from WSGI should respect EOF and
  prevent reads past the end of the request body. However, not all
  WSGI servers guarantee this. Notably, our BaseHTTPServer based
  built-in HTTP server doesn't. Instead, it exposes the raw socket
  and you can read() from it all you want, getting the connection in
  a bad state by doing so.
  
  We have a "cappedreader" utility class that proxies a file object
  and prevents reading past a limit.
  
  This commit converts the WSGI input stream into a capped reader when
  the input length is advertised via Content-Length headers.
  
  "cappedreader" only exposes a read() method. PEP-3333 states that
  the input stream MUST also support readline(), readlines(hint), and
  __iter__(). However, since our code only calls read and we're not
  implementing a spec conforming WSGI server (just a WSGI application
  at this point), we don't need to support these additional methods.
  So the limited functionality of "cappedreader" is sufficient for our
  WSGI application.
