gevent.monkey: add patch_httplib() function and 'httplib' argument to patch_all() (disabled by default)

core: add http_request_client and add support for initiating connections to http_connection (issue #9).

Based on the patch by Tommie Gannert, Örjan Persson.

server: remove _allowed_ssl_args, allow any arguments to be passed (including 'ciphers' which was not included into _allowed_ssl_args)

Use write-only event for connections on non-windows systems (issue #31). Thanks to Alexey Borzenkov for figuring it out.

websocket package is adapted to that

pywsgi: do not add CONTENT_TYPE to the environ dict when there's no Content-Type header in the request

wsgi: fix issue #58: even if http_request instance is leaked, reply with 500 error immediatelly when application raises an error. Thanks to Jon Aslund.

this is needed for websocket which needs to own the connection

pywsgi: ignore errors that happen when socket is closed (for example if it was  already closed by websocket handler)

pywsgi: do not use chunked transfer encoding in case of 304 and 204 responses as it creates a non-empty message body which is against RFC and causes some browsers to fail. Based on the patch by Nicholas Piël.

Note, that zero-length string encoded with chunked transfer-encoding is a non-empty message-body.
That causes some browsers to fail (e.g. safara and firefox on macos)

Thanks to Nicholas Piël.
