It was always a weird interface but I didn't know what I
was doing at the time. rsc questioned me about it then
but didn't press on it during review. Then adg bugged me
about it too recently.
So clean it up. It parallels the Writer struct too.

Via Russ Ross' bug report on golang-nuts, it was not possible
to send an HTTP request with a zero length body with either a
Content-Length (it was stripped) or chunking (it wasn't set).
This means Go couldn't upload 0-length objects to Amazon S3.
(which aren't as silly as they might sound, as S3 objects can
have key/values associated with them, set in the headers)
Amazon further doesn't supported chunked uploads. (not Go's
problem, but we should be able to let users set an explicit
Content-Length, even if it's zero.)
To fix the ambiguity of an explicit zero Content-Length and
the Request struct's default zero value, users need to
explicit set TransferEncoding to []string{"identity"} to force
the Request.Write to include a Content-Length: 0. identity is
in RFC 2616 but is ignored pretty much everywhere. We don't
even then serialize it on the wire, since it's kinda useless,
except as an internal sentinel value.
The "identity" value is then documented, but most users can
ignore that because NewRequest now sets that.
And adds more tests.

This replaces most the map[string][]string usage with
a new Values type name, with the usual methods.
It also changes client.PostForm to take a Values, rather
than a map[string]string, closing a TODO in the code.

Also some cleanup, removing redundant code. Make more
things use NewRequest. Add some tests, docs.

A user pointed out that Go didn't work with their
corp proxy, always throwing 400 Bad Request errors.
Looking at the RFC 2616, Host is always required,
even with proxies.
The old code assumed that writing an absolute URL
in the first line of an HTTP request implied
that the Host header was no longer necessary.
Double-checked behavior with curl.

NewRequest will save a lot of boilerplate code.
This also updates some docs on Request.Write and
adds some tests.

Also adds some tests for Issue 900 which was the reason
the current URL parsing is broken. (the previous fix
was wrong)

Somewhat of a work-in-progress (in that MIME is a large spec), but this is
functional and enough for discussion and/or code review.
In addition to the unit tests, I've tested with curl and Chrome with
a variety of test files, making sure the digests of files are unaltered
when read via a multipart Part.

This CL replaces my earlier https://golang.org/cl/1640044/show
in which Continue handling was explicit. Instead, this CL makes
it automatic. Reading from Body() is an implicit acknowledgement
that the request headers were fine and the body is wanted. In that
case, the 100 Continue response is written automatically when the
request continues the "Expect: 100-continue" header.

Compliance issue addressed here: POST requests carrying form data are required
to use "identity" transfer encoding by common nginx and apache server configurations,
e.g. wordpress.com (and many others). So, Request needed to be able to send
non-chunked encodings.
Thus, Request is extended to support identity and chunked encodings, like
Response. Since the Read() and Write() logic are shared by both (and are
quite long), it is exported in a separate file transfer.go.

(1) http.Response must close resp.Body after writing.
(2) Case when resp.Body != nil and resp.ContentLength = 0 should not be
treated as an error in Response.Write, because this is what
ReadResponse often returns.
(3) Changed body.th to body.hdr for readability.
