Migrate to reqwest

NAKASHIMA, Makoto requested to merge gifnksm/rust-gitlab:migrate-to-reqwest into master

Currently, we cannot use both rust-gitlab (depending on hyper's SSL support) and libgit2 in the same application, because they require different versions of rust-openssl (hyper: 0.7.x, libgit2: 0.9.x). (I want to use the both libraries in my GitLab helper application.)

seanmonstar (hyper's author) recommends using reqwest for HTTP clients.

reqwest: Be the convenient, higher level Client crate. This will release very soon, and depend on rust-native-tls. Everyone using hyper for a client should be able to easily switch the reqwest, getting better TLS support immediately, and a (as much as possible) not-breaking API, even as hyper v0.10 comes out with its async Client.

thoughts?
