implement a valid RFC3986 (URI) parser

Up until now I used a "poor man" approach: the uri parser is barely a parser, it tries to extract the path from the request, with some minor checking, and that's all. This obviously is not RFC3986-compliant. The new RFC3986 (URI) parser should be fully compliant. It may accept some invalid URI, but shouldn't reject or mis-parse valid URI. (in particular, the rule for the path is way more relaxed in this parser than it is in the RFC text). A difference with RFC3986 is that we don't even try to parse the (optional) userinfo part of a URI: following the Gemini spec we treat it as an error. A further caveats is that %2F in the path part of the URI is indistinguishable from a literal '/': this is NOT conforming, but due to the scope and use of gmid, I don't see how treat a %2F sequence in the path (reject the URI?).

make -d handle correctly non-absolute paths

before the -d option only accepted absolute paths, and this wasn't documented. Even more, with the default value of "docs" it won't work. Now it transforms all relative paths to absolute paths before going on.

logging reworked and daemonize by default

The -l option was removed: now it logs on syslog if -f (foreground) is not passed.

clients certs support for CGI

internally, gmid doesn’t care if the client issued a certificate, but now we pass that information to the CGI script in some new environment variables.

[cgi] added support for path parameters

enhance the CGI scripting support so that script can take path parameters. That is, a script at /cgi/foo is called when the request path is /cgi/foo/bar/... This commit also introduce some backward incompatible changes as the default env variables set for the CGI script changed.

[cgi] execute cgi scripts only inside a specific directory

change the meaning of the -x flag: now it takes a string and executes CGI scripts only if they are inside a directory with the given name, relatively to the document root.

[debug] print number of connected clients on SIGINFO

or SIGUSR2 for poor peoples
