Revising nsIChannel to allow for overlapped i/o. This consists of three parts:
1. Factoring nsIChannel into a protocol specific part, the nsIChannel, and a socket specific, the nsITransport.
2. Derive the nsIChannel from a nsIRequest.
2. Changes the notification system from necko and the URILoader to pass the nsIRequest interface instead of nsIChannel interface.
This goal stems from wanting to be able to have active AsyncRead and AsyncWrite operations on nsSocketTransport.
This is desired because it would greatly simplify the task of maintaining persistent/reusable socket connections
for FTP, HTTP, and Imap (and potentially other protocols). The problem with the existing nsIChannel interface is
that it does not allow one to selectively suspend just one of the read or write operations while keeping the other active.

Fixes bug 46872. r=valeski/rpotts
accessors and modifiers. Channels may now override the proxy setting
from the HTTP handler. r=valeski
Fixed bug 24329. Made mProxyAuthList in nsAuthEngine to keep the list of proxy authentications. Logout now clears both proxy and basic auths. r=rjc
Fixed bug 26149. Authenticate now aborts only if the user doesn't click cancel on the PromptUserPass dialog. Removed the unnecessary nsIChannel* parameter on Authenticate. r=rjc
Fixed bug 24304. We now register a callback for proxy preferences. r=rjc
Fixed bug 17158. We now honor "network.proxy.no_proxies_on" preference to diable proxy activity on specified host or domain. We still need a fix for 27141 to read and write this pref correctly. r=rjc
Fixed bug 16442. Referer is only added if its an http URI. r=rjc
