After adding the proxy authentication support in http, the semantics
of HTTP_REAUTH changed more to a retry rather than a re-authentication,
so we rename it to HTTP_AUTH_RETRY.

The patch looks fine, but a minor nit on the rationale. It has nothing
to do with the proxy auth. It has always been a bad name. It is not "you
should re-authenticate", but rather "I have already re-authenticated,
and therefore you should call me again to retry".
