Support more `r.http` options

[neumino]

Now only a simple GET is supported.

Options to add:

• [ ] timeout
• [ ] reattempts
• [ ] redirects
• [ ] verify
• [ ] resultFormat
• [ ] auth
• [ ] params
• [ ] header
• [ ] data

This should be pretty easy to add. It's just about updating this method: https://github.com/neumino/reqlite/blob/060a3846d2287443790770e0c7a56b8b049f69ed/lib/query.js#L3693

Hey, @neumino I'm trying to work on this, but I'm having trouble with resultFormat:binary. I tried resolving the promise with:

{
  $reql_type$: 'BINARY',
  data: new Buffer(response).toString('base64')
}

But the output for http://httpbin.org/image/png differs from the RethinkDB server:

ReQLite: <Buffer ef bf bd 50 4e 47 0d 0a 1a 0a 00 00 00 0d 49 48 44 52 00 00 00 64 00 00 00 64 08 02 00 00 00 ef bf bd ef bf bd 02 03 00 00 1f 61 49 44 41 54 78 ef bf ... >

If you wanna have a look, I just pushed up my changes here: https://github.com/marshall007/reqlite/tree/http-options

Oh, nevermind. It's because request assumes utf8 encoding by default.

Thanks @marshall007 for your help! :)
