http client: support persistent connections.
uses keepalive module from urlgrabber package. tested against "hg serve",
cgi server, and through http proxy. used ethereal to verify that only
one tcp connection used during entire "hg pull" sequence.
if server supports keepalive, this makes latency of "hg pull" much lower.

# The config file looks like this. You can have paths to individual
# repos, collections of repos in a directory tree, or both.
#
# [paths]
# virtual/path = /real/path
# virtual/path = /real/path
#
# [collections]
# /prefix/to/strip/off = /root/of/tree/full/of/repos
#
# collections example: say directory tree /foo contains repos /foo/bar,
# /foo/quux/baz. Give this config section:
# [collections]
# /foo = /foo
# Then repos will list as bar and quux/baz.
# Alternatively you can pass a list of ('virtual/path', '/real/path') tuples
# or use a dictionary with entries like 'virtual/path': '/real/path'
