If the server told us in a previous request that it isn't supporting
Ranges with bytes via an Accept-Ranges header missing bytes, we don't
try to formulate requests using Ranges.

We keep various information bits about the server around, some only
effecting the currently handled file (like sizes) while others
should be persistent (like pipeline detections). http used to reset all
file-related manually, which is a bit silly if we already have a Reset()
method – which does reset all through –, so extending it with a
parameter for reuse and calling it from https too (as this was
previously resetting by just creating a new state struct – it uses no
value of the persistent state-keeping yet as it supports no pipelining).

<title>http: auto-configure for local Tor proxy if called as 'tor'</title>

With apts http transport supporting socks5h proxies and all the work
in terms of configuration of methods based on the name it is called with
it becomes surprisingly easy to implement Tor support equally (and
perhaps even a bit exceeding) what is available currently in
apt-transport-tor.

How this will turn out to be handled packaging wise we will see in
https://lists.debian.org/deity/2016/08/msg00012.html , but until this is
resolved we can add the needed support without actively enabling it for
now, so that this can be tested better.

<title>implement socks5h proxy support for http method</title>

Socks support is a requested feature in sofar that the internet is
actually believing Acquire::socks::Proxy would exist. It doesn't and
this commit isn't adding it as that isn't how our configuration works,
but it allows Acquire::http::Proxy="socks5h://…". The HTTPS method was
changed already to support socks proxies (all versions) via curl. This
commit implements only SOCKS5 (RFC1928) with no auth or pass&amp;user auth
(RFC1929), but not GSSAPI which is required by the RFC. The 'h' in the
protocol name further indicates that DNS resolution is delegated to the
socks proxy rather than performed locally.

The implementation works and was tested with Tor as socks proxy for
which implementing socks5h only can actually be considered a feature.

<title>implement generic config fallback for methods</title>

<content type='text'>
The https method implemented for a long while now a hardcoded fallback
to the same options in http, which, while it works, is rather inflexible
if we want to allow the methods to use another name to change their
behavior slightly, like apt-transport-tor does to https – most of the
diff being s#https#tor#g which then fails to do the full circle
fallthrough tor -&gt; https -&gt; http for https sources. With this config
infrastructure this could be implemented now.

cURL which backs our https implementation can handle redirects on its
own, but by dealing with them on our own we gain finer control over which
redirections will be performed (we don't like https → http) and by whom
so that redirections to other hosts correctly spawn a new https method
dealing with these instead of letting the current one deal with it.

Having the detection handled in specific (http) workers means that a
redirection loop over different hostnames isn't detected. Its also not a
good idea have this implement in each method independently even if it
would work

This reference is never used in the cases it has a nullptr, so the
