houseme 88645c9169 fix(server): stop closing idle proxy keep-alive connections + reverse-proxy hardening (#3076) (#4360)
* fix(server): raise default HTTP/1.1 idle keep-alive timeout for proxies

In hyper's HTTP/1.1 stack `header_read_timeout` is armed as soon as the
connection is ready to read the next request head, so on a keep-alive
connection it also bounds how long an idle upstream connection may sit
before RustFS closes it. The previous 5s default meant RustFS FIN'd pooled
upstream connections while reverse proxies (Caddy ~2min, Nginx 60s) still
believed they were alive. The proxy then reused a dead socket and clients
saw `socket hang up` / connection reset, most visibly on non-idempotent
`PUT` uploads that proxies will not transparently retry (issue #3076).

Raise DEFAULT_HTTP1_HEADER_READ_TIMEOUT to 75s (above common proxy
idle-keepalive windows) and document the coupling. Still overridable via
RUSTFS_HTTP1_HEADER_READ_TIMEOUT for deployments that expose RustFS
directly to untrusted slow clients and want tighter slowloris protection.

* docs(operations): add reverse-proxy deployment guide

Document the request/body semantics RustFS expects from a proxy layer, the
idle keep-alive mismatch that causes `socket hang up` on large PutObject
writes, and known-good Caddy/Nginx configs plus Cloudflare caveats. Closes
the documentation gap called out in issue #3076 and consolidates the
scattered findings from #609/#934/#1492/#1766.

* feat(object): bound stalled PutObject request-body reads with diagnostics

When a reverse proxy or CDN forwards a partial request body and then goes
silent without closing the connection, the inner body stream neither yields
more bytes nor reports EOF, so RustFS waited forever for bytes that never
arrive and the client saw a silent hang/abort (issue #3076). A short body
that ends with a proper EOF was already rejected promptly; the gap was the
no-EOF stall case.

Add a single-point request-body guard on the PutObject path that wraps the
incoming StreamingBlob with an inter-chunk read timeout. The timer resets on
every chunk, so slow-but-progressing uploads are unaffected; it only fires
after RUSTFS_HTTP_REQUEST_BODY_READ_TIMEOUT (default 300s, 0 disables) of
complete silence. On timeout it logs a structured `put_object_body_read_stalled`
event with received/expected byte counts and fails the read with
ErrorKind::TimedOut instead of hanging. remaining_length/size_hint are
forwarded so wrapping is transparent to downstream length handling.

Covered by unit tests for the stall path, length-preserving pass-through, and
the disabled (timeout=0) pass-through.
