Description

Hello,

While using fasthttp.Client to talk to a server that produce chunked response with trailer headers I see "cannot find crlf at the end of chunk" error. I suspects that this happens because fasthttp's implementation does not expect to see trailer headers after the last chunk, which is not according to chunked transfer coding spec.

This can ideally be fixed by adding https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp/issues/210. Otherwise readBodyChunked need to be mindful of trailers.

Let me know if I should produce an example.

Regards.

Research direction
Review the chunked transfer encoding RFC and the `readBodyChunked` function in `http.go` or similar file. Investigate how trailers are currently handled and whether the fix from issue #210 (trailer support) can be integrated. Consider adding logic to parse trailer headers after the terminating chunk.
