[PATCH] http|nntp: avoid recursion inside ->write

[Eric Wong <e@80x24.org>]

In HTTP.pm, we can use the same technique NNTP.pm uses with
long_response with the $long_cb callback and avoid storing
$pull in the per-client structure at all.  We can also reuse
the same logic to push the callback into wbuf from NNTP.

This does NOT introduce a new circular reference, but documents
it more clearly.
