http: optimize checkInvalidHeaderChar()

This commit optimizes checkInvalidHeaderChar() by unrolling the
character checking loop a bit.

Additionally, some changes to the benchmark runner are needed in
order for the included benchmark to be run correctly. Specifically,
the regexp used to parse `key=value` parameters contained a greedy
quantifier that was causing the `key` to match part of the `value`
if `value` contained an equals sign.
