Subject: [PATCH] Deprecate large max content length truncation

Today if a user inputs a value for http.max_content_length that is
greater than the setting can accomodate (Integer.MAX_VALUE), we truncate
this to 100 MB (the default). This commit deprecates this leniency which
will be removed in 7.0.0.
