The prototype for a chunk allocation callback. This should allocate
a new #SoupBuffer and return it for the I/O layer to read message
body data off the network into.
If max_len is non-0, it indicates the maximum number of bytes that
could be read, based on what is known about the message size. Note
that this might be a very large number, and you should not simply
try to allocate that many bytes blindly. If max_len is 0, that
means that libsoup does not know how many bytes remain to be read,
and the allocator should return a buffer of a size that it finds
convenient.
If the allocator returns %NULL, the message will be paused. It is
up to the application to make sure that it gets unpaused when it
becomes possible to allocate a new buffer.
