Attempt to improve handling of HTTP requests on port 80 when there is a HTTP proxy that requires authentication involved. This also has a fix to make sure that we continue to use the same proxy when we are redirected to an alternative URL. I'm tempted to create a purple_proxy_append_proxy_auth_headers(), but that would have to wait until 2.8.0. Refs #11986. Refs #11908.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the
HOWTOs in the "Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
