The authentication state is stored (in a hash map, using the domain+path
as a key) in the UrlContext class. It can then be reused for multiple
requests to the same place. We also lookup stored authentications for
parent directories and stop at the first we find.
Authentication state is not stored on disk (unlike cookies), and there
can only be one for each domain+path.
* Remove the fRawData field, as handling it is too complicated (it's
not easy to have proper copy semantics on a BDataIO) and it's not used
anyway, as the listener DataReceived call is enough to get the data and
handle it.
* All the remaining fields are HTTP-only, so rename the class to
HttpResult and attach it to HttpRequest instead of UrlRequest.

Change the ownership of the result for Url/HttpRequests. The request now
owns its result and you either access it by reference while the request
is live, or copy it to keep it after the request destruction. To help
with that, get BUrlResult copy constructor and assignment operator to
work.
Performance issue: copying the BUrlResult also copies the underlying
BMallocIO data. This should be shared between the BUrlResult objects to
make the copy lighter. The case of BUrlSynchronousRequest is now
particularly inefficient, with at least 2 copies needed to get at the
result.
* Now takes ownership of headers, form data and input data
* Split Set* and Adopt* methods to help with proper use of this (Set
does a copy)
* Write documentation.
* Some fields weren't initialized, leading to random crashes later on
* Remove the enum that was used for protocol options
* Use a single field to track the request state, instead of separate
booleans.
* Remove the BUrlRequest class, which was only delegating work to
BUrlProtocol and subclasses
* Rename BUrlProtocol to BUrlRequest, and BUrlRequestHttp to BHttpRequest
* Creating a request is now done through the BUrlProtocolRoster. For
now there is just a static MakeRequest method, this will be completed
when we get to actually allowing add-ons to provide different request
handlers.
This allows cleanup of the API for requests:
* Remove the universal SetOption method with constants, and have
dedicated setters for each protocol option.
* Setters can now have multiple parameters, for example you can give
BHTTPRequest a BDataIO and a known size
* In this case, the BHttpRequest will not use HTTP chunked transfers,
which were always used before and made most servers unhappy (tested and
failed with lighttpd, google accounts and github).
