Thanks to Gordon Tyler for starting a proof-of-concept implementation, I've finally
been able to fix bug #186920 et all (the one about lp URLS that can't be
resolved behind proxies).
This patch implement an XMLRPC transport class using our _urllib2_wrappers (the fundations
for the urllib http client), that gives us proxy support for free.
I still haven't implemented a true proxy test server but I've added tests that exercise
the full urllib http stack.
