journal-remote: verify entry length from header

      Calling mhd_respond(), which ulimately calls MHD_queue_response() is
ineffective at point, becuase MHD_queue_response() immediately returns
MHD_NO signifying an error, because the connection is in state
MHD_CONNECTION_CONTINUE_SENT.

As Christian Grothoff kindly explained:

If we ever encounter this kind of error, print a warning and immediately
abort the connection. (The alternative would be to keep reading the
