My primary motivation at this point is to use it for basic proxy auth.
(specify "Proxy-Authorization" header)
But there can be other use cases for proxy-specific extra headers.
If/when we want to support other non-trivial auth methods, probably
a callback-based mechanism will be necessary. But at this point,
this serves my purpose well.
Include stdint.h for uint16_t explicitly.
This was necessary when I was trying to build this natively
on Ubuntu. It seems some other headers happen to pull
the uint16_t definition by luck on NuttX and macOS.
Use a separate webclient_context for tunnel establishment.
I chose this way (instead of having tunnelling steps in
the state machine of a single webclient_context) because
I want to allow tunnelling of non-HTTP protocols sooner or later.
Add a primitive API for tunnel establishment.
(WEBCLIENT_FLAG_TUNNEL and webclient_get_tunnel)
I plan to use this to implement https proxy support.
That is, the primary user will be webclient itself.
* webclient_perform
* Add a new flag to use non-blocking mode (WEBCLIENT_FLAG_NON_BLOCKING)
* Implement restarting
* Add a few associated API functions
* webclient_get_poll_info: get the descriptor info for poll/select
* webclient_abort: abort the operation (instead of restarting)
This fixes the case when webclient_set_static_body is used
for data larger than webclient_context::buflen.
Note: as of writing this, webclient_set_static_body is the
only user of body_callback in NuttX apps tree.
Highlights:
* TLS support (a hook to allow users to provide TLS implementation)
* ability to add extra request headers
* ability to use PUT method
* ability to report http status
* error handling improvements
Proposed on the ML while ago:

The original API is kept for now.
I plan to remove them after adapting the existing users.
