Try not to hang when user views large request & response bodies

Two different strategies here:

    - Use a simple heuristic to detect if we're looking at XML data when indent
    mode is used. On non-XML data we can hang even on small documents.

    - Only view partial data for large bodies. At the moment the cutoff is
    100k. I might finetune this later.
