OutOfMemoryError for large multipart without filename in Eclipse Jetty
### Impact
Servlets with multipart support (e.g. annotated with `@MultipartConfig`) that call `HttpServletRequest.getParameter()` or `HttpServletRequest.getParts()` may cause `OutOfMemoryError` when the client sends a multipart request with a part that has a name but no filename and a very large content.
This happens even with the default settings of `fileSizeThreshold=0` which should stream the whole part content to disk.
An attacker client may send a large multipart request and cause the server to throw `OutOfMemoryError`.
However, the server may be able to recover after the `OutOfMemoryError` and continue its service -- although it may take some time.
A very large number of parts may cause the same problem.
### Patches
Patched in Jetty versions
* 9.4.51.v20230217 - via PR #9345
* 10.0.14 - via PR #9344
* 11.0.14 - via PR #9344
### Workarounds
Multipart parameter `maxRequestSize` must be set to a non-negative value, so the whole multipart content is limited (although still read into memory).
Limiting multipart parameter `maxFileSize` won't be enough because an attacker can send a large number of parts that summed up will cause memory issues.
