Not quite. The "done" flag needs to wait until the entire response has
been consumed. Otherwise, we might not reenter serf_context_run() to
actually finish the thing off.

I guess there *is* the possibility to let the upper level continue
immediately, and *if* the context is run again, then we consume the
remaining response before dealing with further responses. RIght now...
not trying to deal with that. My hope is to just build in all "done"
processing into the core handling and wait for the response EOF. (not
just when the semantics seem to indicate done-ness)
