Dmitry Frank 23122b327c Remove old docs, rename docs_new to docs
It would be probably good idea to also remove tools/docgen.py and
asciidoc.mk, but asciidoc.mk is still mentioned under `cloud/doc`, which
may contain some useful info which we'll need at least to review before
removing.

int mg_http_parse_header(struct mg_str *hdr, const char *var_name, char *buf,
size_t buf_size);
---
Parse HTTP header `hdr`. Find variable `var_name` and store it's value
in the buffer `buf`, `buf_size`. Return 0 if variable not found, non-zero
otherwise.
This function is supposed to parse
cookies, authentication headers, etcetera. Example (error handling omitted):
char user[20];
struct mg_str *hdr = mg_get_http_header(hm, "Authorization");
mg_http_parse_header(hdr, "username", user, sizeof(user));
Return length of the variable's value. If buffer is not large enough,
or variable not found, 0 is returned.
