Previously, a request body larger than declared in Content-Length resulted in
a 413 status code, because Content-Length was mistakenly used as the maximum
allowed request body, similar to client_max_body_size. Following the HTTP/3
specification, such requests are now rejected with the 400 error as malformed.
