JSONRPC: Increase network performance by reducing the reallocation count

The `all_data_cb` callback was called by `libcurl` with small buffers
causing frequent reallocations, which killed network performance on large
block templates.

The new code decouples content length from allocation size. It starts out
by allocating a minimum of 16 KiB and doubles the buffer size every time
the allocation gets too small. The maximum allowed increase after doubling
is capped to 8 MiB.
