Subject: 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.
