Title: Use Faraday instead of HTTParty

I have ported Hyperclient to use Faraday instead of HTTParty.

The big advantage of Faraday is that it lets you swap out HTTP adapters. Most notably there is a Rack adapter which allows you to run Faraday against a Rack app without starting an http server, which is perfect for integration testing. I use it to write test for my API using my Hyperclient based API client.

Apart from that you can also use EventMachine HTTP for asyncronous requests or Excon, which is faster than net/http.
