[confighttp] Apply MaxRequestBodySize to the result of a decompressed…

… body (open-telemetry#10289)

This change applies a restriction on the size of the decompressed
payload. Before this change, this is the result of the test added in
this PR:

+  When using compressed payloads, the Collector would verify only the size of the compressed payload. 
+  This change applies the same restriction to the decompressed content. As a security measure, a limit of 20 MiB was added, which makes this a breaking change. 
+  For most clients, this shouldn't be a problem, but if you often have payloads that decompress to more than 20 MiB, you might want to either configure your
+  client to send smaller batches (recommended), or increase the limit using the MaxRequestBodySize option.
