1. Allow single-quotes in urls, but escape them.
2. Add comments about which RFCs we're following for guidance.
3. Handle any invalid character in the hostname portion.
4. lcase protocol and hostname portions, since they are
case-insensitive.
Implemented a new property for writable file streams that keeps track
of the bytes written (not queued). This helps when you are piping
another stream to a file, and would like to know how big the file is
without having to issue another stat call.
closes#930
When creating multiple .pipe()s to the same destination stream, the
first source to end would close the destination, breaking all remaining
pipes. This patch fixes the problem by keeping track of all open
pipes, so that we only call end on destinations that have no more
sources piping to them.

Cherry-pick fail. Breaks linux. Will land again shortly.

Problem: Sometimes it is useful to read a file from a certain position
to it's end. The current implementation was already perfectly capable
of this, but decided to throw an error when the user tried to omit
the end option. The only way to do this, was to pass {end: Infinity}.
Solution: Automatically assume {end: Infinity} when omitted, and remove
the previous exception thrown. Also updated the docs.
closes#801.
However, this test is failing for some quite unrelated issue.
Getting some odd "socket hangup" crashes, and only the first request
ever makes it to the server.
Calling resume() immediately after calling pause() would trigger
a race condition where it would try to read() from a file
descriptor that was already being read from, causing an EBADF
setImplementationMethods checks the type of a socket and defines different
behavior based on the type, so auto detect it if type not implicitly
specified.
I have seen a lot of people trying to pass objects to crypto's update
functions, assuming that it would somehow serialize the object before
hashing.
In reality, the object was converted to '[object Object]' which was
then hashed, without any error message showing.
This patch modifies the DecodeBytes function (used exclusively by
crypto at this point) to complain when receiving anything but a
string or buffer.
Overall this should be a less-suprising, more robust behavior.
