Explain how to fix 'httpd_parse: header too long'

Because this is the 'simple' server example, it is probably where users will start out to understand the HTTP Server API; and also where they might come if they are having problems.
So I think it is useful to explain to users what to do if they see "httpd_parse: parse_block: request URI/header too long", which can easily happen if they submit a POST from an HTML form (for example). That certainly would have helped me!

@ -21,4 +21,6 @@ The Example consists of HTTPD server demo with demostration of URI handling :
3. "curl -X PUT -d "0" 192.168.43.130:80/ctrl" - disable /hello and /echo handlers
4. "curl -X PUT -d "1" 192.168.43.130:80/ctrl" - enable /hello and /echo handlers
* If the server log shows "httpd_parse: parse_block: request URI/header too long", especially when handling POST requests, then you probably need to increase HTTPD_MAX_REQ_HDR_LEN, which you can find in the project configuration menu (`idf.py menuconfig`): Component config -> HTTP Server -> Max HTTP Request Header Length
