proxy: remove unneeded _set_hostport for compatibility with Python 2.7.7rc1

With Python 2.7.7rc1, "hg pull" through HTTP CONNECT tunnel fails due to the
removal of _set_hostport [1].

      ...
      File "mercurial/url.py", line 372, in https_open
        return self.do_open(self._makeconnection, req)
      ...
      File "mercurial/url.py", line 342, in connect
        _generic_proxytunnel(self)
      File "mercurial/url.py", line 228, in _generic_proxytunnel
        self._set_hostport(self.host, self.port)
    AttributeError: httpsconnection instance has no attribute '_set_hostport'

self._set_hostport(self.host, self.port) should be noop and can be removed
because:

 - _set_hostport() [2] was the function to parse "host:port" string and
   set them to self.host and self.port,
 - and (self.host, self.port) pair should be valid since connect() is called
   prior to _generic_proxytunnel().

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.

The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".

If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.

A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
