Improve Transfer-Encoding handling (#702)

Reject messages containing Transfer-Encoding header with coding other
than chunked or identity. Squid does not support other codings.

For simplicity and security sake, also reject messages where
Transfer-Encoding contains unnecessary complex values that are
technically equivalent to "chunked" or "identity" (e.g., ",,chunked" or
"identity, chunked").

RFC 7230 formally deprecated and removed identity coding, but it is
still used by some agents.
