[PATCH 00/18] http*: refactor (v3)

Junio, I've reworked the patches after "http-push: fix missing "#ifdef USE_CURL_MULTI" around "is_running_queue" in rc/http-push. (I thought resending everything would clutter things up, but I could for your convenience if you want me to.)

Mike, I've only taken some of your patches from your WIP patch series dated Jan 18 (http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2009/1/18/4757804), because the rest are more problematic to apply.

Here's a list of changes from Mike's patches and from my previous patch series:

 *I removed the contentious http_cleanup in the cleanup patch #7.

 *a new http_request return state, HTTP_START_FAILED, has been added.

 *http_request prints an error message ("Unable to start request") when
  start_active_slot fails.

 *a new http API method, http_error, has been added.

 *in patch #12 (http_fetch_ref), the error ("Unable to start request")
  is still removed, like Mike did, since http_request already handles it.

 *in patch #13 (remote_exists), the patch has been re-titled from
  update_remote_info_refs.

 *the patches for fetch_http_pack_index and objects/info/packs have
  been reworked into http_get_info_packs.

 *fetch_http_pack_index has been made private.
