daemon Add Support for HTTP 3000 completed 2016-11-01

Add support for resolution via HTTP to lbry.

The LBRY blockchain supports storing metadata about media content. A simplified, sample entry looks like:

title: "What is LBRY?",
language: "en",
description: "What is LBRY? An introduction with Alex Tabarrok",
author: "Samuel Bryan",
sources: {
  lbry_sd_hash : "d5169241150022f996fa7cd6a9a1c421937276a3275eb912790bd07ba7aec1fac5fd45431d226b8fb402691e79aeb24b"
}

The sources field is designed to be extended and support resolution to multiple protocols. To complete this the LBRY daemon must be modified to read http as a source key and use this key to access the data via HTTP (or HTTPS) when present.
