Title: Fix RT #81381 - Make LWP::UserAgent robust to 5.17.6/5.18 hash randomization

Audited and fixed any potential hash order dependency bugs in
LWP::UserAgent. I replaced all the uses of each() with keys() to avoid
hash iterator state bugs, and made sure that keys are sorted where
their order might matter, which was as far as I could tell only in
how proxy configuration was read from the envrionment.

There was ambiguity as to which of $ENV{http_proxy} and
$ENV{HTTP_PROXY} would be chosen by LWP::UserAgent->env_proxy(). We now
choose HTTP_PROXY if both are set, and if they differ we warn about
the conflicting configuration.

This patch includes tests to check that we warn on conflicting config
and that we correctly handle setting via either.

This includes a version bump to 6.05.
