Summary: httplib hardcodes Accept-Encoding

Initial Comment:
in httplib.py the request() method adds a hardcoded
Accept-Encoding header with the 'identity' value.
This should at least be optional, since I have several
programs supporting encodings like 'gzip' or 'deflate'
and I want to be able to specify my own Accept-Encoding
header.

I suggest adding (similar to skip_host) a
skip_accept_encoding optional argument.
