Summary: Robustness tweak to httplib.py

Initial Comment:
Python 2.2.1, FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE

httplib.py raises UnknownTransferEncoding if the HTTP
response's Transfer-Encoding header is anything except
'chunked'. Some servers return completely bogus values
in this header for otherwise valid results. This patch
causes unknown (i.e., non-chunked) transfer encodings
to be ignored.

This appears to be the behavior of most user-agents
I've looked at.

Jeremy, this looks simple enough to check it in. Do you see
any reason why I shouldn't?
