Buffered IO
On Sunday, I commited a patch to use a buffer for network IO. My
preliminary tests show that Nessus is not quicker but uses less system
CPU.
Currently, open_sock_tcp is left unchanged and http_open_socket is
modified to use a 64KB buffer. Most HTTP tests should benefit from
this.

However, we will not commit this in the stable branch until it has
been tested enough.
Comments & test results welcomed.
