Subject: [PATCH] Rewrite url::recvline to be nonrecursive

This function processes network input. It's semi-trusted, because the
PAC ought to be trusted. But we still shouldn't allow it to control how
far we recurse. A malicious PAC can cause us to overflow the stack by
sending a sufficiently-long line without any '\n' character.

Also, this function failed to properly handle EINTR, so let's fix that
too, for good measure.

Fixes #134
