Issue MESOS-3332: Support HTTP Pipelining in libprocess (http::post)
Currently , {{http::post}} in libprocess, does not support HTTP pipelining. Each call as of know sends in the {{Connection: close}} header, thereby, signaling to the server to close the TCP socket after the response. We either need to create a new interface for supporting HTTP pipelining , or modify the existing {{http::post}} to do so. This is needed for the Scheduler/Executor library implementations to make sure "Calls" are sent in order to the master. Currently, in order to do so, we send in the next request only after we have received a response for an earlier call that results in degraded performance.
