Adding tests for util/httputil/client with a 100% coverage.
Removing the NewDeadlineRoundTripper from util/httputil/client because
is not used.
Adding a new test util to check http.Request in http.RoundTrip interface
implementors.
* Add config, HTTP Basic Auth and TLS support to the generic write path.
- Move generic write path configuration to the config file
- Factor out config.TLSConfig -> tlf.Config translation
- Support TLSConfig for generic remote storage
- Rename Run to Start, and make it non-blocking.
- Dedupe code in httputil for TLS config.
- Make remote queue metrics global.
Allow scrape_configs to have an optional proxy_url option which specifies
a proxy to be used for all connections to hosts in that config.
Internally this modifies the various client functions to take a *url.URL pointer
which currently must point to an HTTP proxy (but has been left open-ended to
allow the url format to be extended to support others, such as maybe SOCKS if
needed).
