http: reuse authentication info after the first failed request (issue3567)

[This was applied in 181108726ea5 but backed out again in af02783dea65 because
of Python 2.4 issues. This edition and test-http.t works with Python 2.4.]

Context: mercurial access to repository server with http access, and this
server is protected by basic auth.

Before patch:

* mercurial try an anonymous access to server, server return 401 response and
  mercurial resend request with login / password information

After patch:

* mercurial try an anonymous access to server, server return
  401 response. For all next requests, mercurial keep in memory this
  information (this server need basic auth information).

This patch reduce the number of http access against mercurial server.

Example, before patch:
