Fix --limit-request-line 0 to mean unlimited

Per documentation, limit_request_line=0 means unlimited. The code was
incorrectly treating 0 as "use default max" by checking <= 0 instead
of < 0.

For the fast C parser (gunicorn_h1c), which doesn't support 0 as
unlimited, pass a large value (1MB) instead. This applies to both
WSGI workers (http/message.py) and ASGI workers (asgi/protocol.py).

Fixes #3563
