Fix endless loop in apt-get update that can cause disk fillup
The apt http code parses Content-Length and Content-Range. For both requests the variable "Size" is used and the semantic for this Size is the total file size. However Content-Length is not the entire file size for partital file requests. For servers that send the Content-Range header first and then the Content-Length header this can lead to globbing of Size so that its less than the real file size. This may lead to a subsequent passing of a negative number into the CircleBuf which leads to a endless loop that writes data. Thanks to Anton Blanchard for the analysis and initial patch. LP: #1445239
