Add support for custom http connection factories

[elspethsoup]

I followed the same pattern used for the parser. This opens the door to being able to do things like use a pool of persistent HTTP connections. Let me know what you think and if there are any changes you would like to see.

This pull request fails (merged 22bd579 into 9c08f47).

no fair travis! the build failed because of a vagrant error, not a code problem. :(

@jnunemaker, let me know when you think and if you want me to send you another pull request with the commits squashed.

Also, I'm planning on writing a connection adapter that does persistent http connections using the persistent_http gem. Would you be interested in having that be a part of httparty? Let me know as I'll release it as a separate gem otherwise.

[jnunemaker]

Definitely separate. I'd like to keep dependencies to a minimum.

@jnunemaker, is there any other changes you would want to this pull request? I am hoping to release a gem that uses this feature to enable persistent http connections in the next week or two.

[jnunemaker]

Looking it over now.

thx!
