+157) Add a directive to control the currently hardcoded receive-buffer size.

+158) Use a single thread to wait for new requests on reused client connections.
+     Currently the thread that handles the first request on a connection
+     stays responsible for the client connect until it gets closed.
+     In case of lots of idle connections lots of waiting threads are used.
+     While it's conceivable that this ineffiency is irrelevant from a
+     performance point of view, using a single thread should reduce Privoxy's
+     memory footprint a bit which may be noticeable in case of multi-user setups
+     with hundreds of idle connections.
