Honor SetEnv proxy-sendchunked with small data

When sending small amounts of data using Transfer-Encoding: chunked, it gets forwarded using Content-Length even though I have SetEnv proxy-sendchunked.

I don't really know if this is to be considered a bug or a feature but it's certainly something that gets confusing when the behavior is dependent on the amount of data sent.

My suggestion is to keep this behavior, unless we explicitly request to pass chunked data on to the receiver by using SetEnv proxy-sendchunked.

I'll attach a patch so you can see what I mean.
