           Summary: HttpWebRequest doesn't ignore chunk-extension in

see http/1.1 docs here:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.6.1

It is legal for an HTTP/1.1 server to send an optional chunk-extension after a
chunk-size. The chunk decoder in the GetChunkSize method in ChunkStream.cs is
clearly just reading the chunk header until it sees \r\n and trying to parse
the result as a HexNumber directly. 

This fails if the chunk has a chunk-extension since the string being parsed
would look like "1A0; foo\r\n" instead of the more common "1A0\r\n". 

The chunk decoder should instead read up to a semicolon OR \r\n, parse those
characters as a hex number, then in the case where it read up to a semicolon,
discard bytes until an \r\n is encountered. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up a webrequest to a server that sends chunk-extension
2. call GetResponse() on it
3. call GetResponseStream() on the response
4. call Read(...) on the stream.

Actual Results:  
mono http stack throws a protocol violation "Cannot parse chunk size."

Expected Results:  
mono reads the data sent by the server, ignoring the chunk-extension
