When we run into an error like a 404 Not Found the request body is not
read and will be parsed as part of the next request. The next Request
will then fail because there is unexpected data in it.
When we run into such a problem with a request body close return an
error and close the connection. This should be easier than trying to
recover the state.

We saw this problem when /ubus/ was not installed, but the browser tried
to access it. Then uhttpd returned a 404, but the next request done in
this connection also failed with a HTTP 400, bad request.

Fixes: FS#3378
