76dafb8954 Some bug-fixes, clean-ups, and one new feature:
- Fix the bug with URIs of the form ftp://host/filename.
- Fix some more string-termination bugs in util.c.
- Use safe_malloc() rather than testing the return value of
  regular malloc() in 15 places.
- Implement HTTP authentication, for both servers and proxies.
  Currently only ``basic'' authentication is supported; This Is A Bug
  (but less of one tjhan nmot supporting any authentication).

I think there is only one more feature which is required for full
HTTP/1.1 support, which is Transfer-Encoding: chunked; this should
not be toohard, but it isn't very important, either.

6525961b64 Null-terminate the string in percent_decode() so that we don't depend on
malloc() returning zeroed storage or dump core while starting up.

78be319939 Here is my long-threatened revamping of fetch. Jean-Marc probably won't
recognize it any more.  This makes the following significant changes:

- The main body of the program doesn't know a thing about URIs,
  HTTP, or FTP.  This makes it possible to easily plug in other
  protocols.  (The next revision will probably be able to dynamically
  add new recognizers.)

- There are no longer arbitrary timeouts for the protocols.  If you want
  to set one for yourself, use the environment variables.

- FTP proxies are now supported (if I implemented it right).

- The HTTP implementation is much more complete, and can now do restarts,
  preserve modtimes, and mrun in mirror mode.  It's not yet up to 1.1,
  but it's getting there.

- Transaction TCP is now used for sending HTTP requests.  The HTTP/1.1 syntax
  for requesting that the connection be closed after one request is
  implemented.

In all of this, I have doubtless broken somebody.  Please test it and tell me
about the bugs.
