http: Support auth method detection for POST
Inspired by a patch by Jakob van Bethlehem. But instead of doing an empty POST first to trigger the WWW-Authenticate header (which would succeed if no auth actually was required), add an Expect: 100-continue header, which is meant to be used exactly for cases like this. The header is added if doing a post, and the user has specified authentication but we don't know the auth method yet. Not all common HTTP servers support the Expect: 100-continue header, though, so we only try to use it when it really is needed. The user can request it to be added for other POST requests as well via an option - which would allow the caller to know immediately that the POST has failed (e.g. if no auth was provided but the server required it, or if the target URL simply doesn't exist). This is only done for write mode posts (e.g. posts without pre-set post_data) - for posts with pre-set data, we can just redo the post if it failed due to 401.
