Title: HTTPS over a proxy with Proxy-Connection and CONNECT

Adds proxy CONNECT support based on sabren's #45 pull request incorporating fix mentioned by scottyallen and subsequent changes to webclient.

If you are crawling https urls with e.g., proxymesh (a provider [referenced on scrapy.org](http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/practices.html)) this is required functionality.
