Add a little HTTP request resilience #34

At times (more often than I would like) box.com API services experience connectivity issues. (And at times a pesky OS X 10.9 network stack bug gets in the way.) The occasional symptoms are hung sockets and SSL EOL/EOF errors.

I worked-in a requests session HTTP adapter that puts timeout values of requests and retries requests that fail.

With some massaging, could this mechanism be part of box.py?

While I don't actually use Box or even use this library, I am somehow not surprised by what you're describing :)

I'm not sure about the adapter you wrote though. I'll look at it sometime.
