DB-4068 cherry-pick upstream HttpRequest/ObjectDecoder fixes (4.0.54/bdp 5.1)

https://datastax.jira.com/browse/DB-4068

@dalaro I have netty write permissions so I created 4.0.54 branch and this PR

[jtgrabowski]

Backport looks good but I see some unchanged 4.0.54.Final in pom files

[dalaro]

Thanks for creating an appropriate base branch.

I found four overlooked 4.0.54.Final usages:

• <scm><tag> in three poms (top-level, dev-tools, bom)
• <version> in bom/pom.xml

I updated the stale <version> in bom/pom.xml.

I've also deleted all <tag> elements from the <scm> elements. I haven't created or pushed tags for these new versions yet. If the release job for this project runs mvn release:prepare (or mvn scm:tag directly for some reason), then I think it should repopulate the <scm><tag> as it executes. I'm not sure the release job cares, though, because I see values for <scm><tag> that don't have corresponding tags on the riptano/netty repo.

Here's the diff reflecting what I just listed above, right before force-pushing:

I'm force-pushing similar changes on the other two PRs.
