While going through the Odi's latest patch, I got hit by an idea. Why on earth do we 
differentiate between proxy and host credentials? At the end of the day do we care? 
The distinction between proxies and target hosts is not relevant from the HttpState 
standpoint as long as credentials can be uniquely identified by realm/host/port. All 
we need to ability to differentiate credentials by authentication realm, host AND 
port. I think we would make API much simpler and authentication code much cleaner by 
deprecating HttpState#get/setProxyCredentials stuff for good.
