Title: Use http.request instead of old createClient

This is related to an issue reported by me. I've implemented the usage of http.request. The main problem with the old functionality is that it will open unlimted connections to HBase. The new http implementation uses Agent to throttle the number of concurrent connections, adjustable by agent.maxSockets if needed.

Also, I have noticed that most of the code in hbase-connection.js is redundant, so I cleaned it up a bit. I am running this patched version myself in pre-production, but review is appreciated.
