Allow individual authentication schemes to parse WWW-Authenticate
headers that do not comply with RFC2617.

[http] Gracefully handle offers of multiple authentication schemes
Servers may provide multiple WWW-Authenticate headers, each offering a
different authentication scheme. We currently fail the request as
soon as we encounter an unrecognised scheme, which prevents subsequent
offers from succeeding.
Fix by silently ignoring headers for schemes that we do not recognise.
If no schemes are recognised then the request will eventually fail
anyway due to the 401 response code.
If multiple schemes are supported, arbitrarily choose the scheme
appearing first within the response headers.

[http] Rewrite HTTP core to support content encodings
Rewrite the HTTP core to allow for the addition of arbitrary content
encoding mechanisms, such as PeerDist and gzip.
The core now exposes http_open() which can be used to create requests
with an explicitly selected HTTP method, an optional requested content
range, and an optional request body. A simple wrapper provides the
preexisting behaviour of creating either a GET request or an
application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST request (if the URI includes
parameters).
The HTTP SAN interface is now implemented using the generic block
device translator. Individual blocks are requested using http_open()
to create a range request.
Server connections are now managed via a connection pool; this allows
for multiple requests to the same server (e.g. for SAN blocks) to be
completely unaware of each other. Repeated HTTPS connections to the
same server can reuse a pooled connection, avoiding the per-connection
overhead of establishing a TLS session (which can take several seconds
if using a client certificate).
Support for HTTP SAN booting and for the Basic and Digest
authentication schemes is now optional and can be controlled via the
SANBOOT_PROTO_HTTP, HTTP_AUTH_BASIC, and HTTP_AUTH_DIGEST build
configuration options in config/general.h.
