#1087: Requests dropped due to long headers are invisible

Currently Varnish will not be very specific if a connection is dropped due
to overly long headers. It's assumed to be an attack or otherwise
malicious.
This makes it close to impossible for sysadmins to determine that it's
happening and why.
There needs to be a log entry for this, otherwise this can itself be used
to mask attacks....
