httppeer: move requestbuilder defaults into makepeer() argument

Upcoming commits will move the initial ?cmd=capabilities handshake
request out of httppeer so the handshake can be performed before a
peer instance is constructed. In order to do this, we'll need to
refactor code for making HTTP requests.

The type used to construct HTTP requests is configurable. If we'll
be making HTTP requests outside of httppeer, we should be able to
use a custom request builder. So move the definition of that type
into makepeer().

Extensions can monkeypatch the function and override the argument
value.

## What is it?

This extension adds ability to save certain pushes to a remote blob store
as bundles and to serve commits from remote blob store.
The revisions are stored on disk or in everstore.
The metadata are stored in sql or on disk.

## Config options

infinitepush.branchpattern: pattern to detect a scratchbranch, example
                            're:scratch/.+'

infinitepush.indextype: disk or sql for the metadata
infinitepush.reponame: only relevant for sql metadata backend, reponame to put in
                       sql

infinitepush.indexpath: only relevant for ondisk metadata backend, the path to
                        store the index on disk. If not set will be under .hg
                        in a folder named filebundlestore

infinitepush.storepath: only relevant for ondisk metadata backend, the path to
                        store the bundles. If not set, it will be
                        .hg/filebundlestore
