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().

Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.

A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip,
-2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.

A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
identifier.

A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form
identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix
of exactly one full-length identifier.

Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A
bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name
associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head
of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":" character.

The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.

The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the
revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.

The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no
working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first
parent.
