Progress tracker: Update libnecko/netlib for 9.2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This will help iron out some of our HTTP and proxy quirkiness, I suspect,
and knock out low-level security bugs. I would like this in 9.2 or 9.2.1.

diff to http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/netwerk/

Initial survey:

base/tests/urltest.cpp
build/nsNetModule.cpp

(nothing)

The gopher code is mostly mine and I'll probably keep that. The rest are
negotiable. I'm not sure if we will bother with the tests. This is less
abstract than NSS, so it will be more difficult to port which is why I have
not marked it critical yet.

It doesn't look like much of nsFileStreams.cpp has changed, which is good, 
because it
has complex patchbacks. Careful diffing may show that we can still use much of 
the
old work.

I think we'll just start with http/.

Ended up making a big mess. There are also NSPR dependencies here that we just 
don't
satisfy. Point changes for security and performance only. Issue 17 will be 
solved on
its own.
