Title: Replace excon with faraday

I don't have anything on Excon, this change is motivated by the fact that excon doesn't work reliably on JRuby, especially with SSL, and the bigger parts of our environment run on JRuby.

With this change, people can still use excon (just set the Faraday.default_adapter = :excon), happy to set it as the default if there's a preference for you guys. Faraday 0.8 (which is around the corner somewhat) has a slightly nicer API, but this is built against 0.7.6, so this'll have to do.
