    Reuse the same RoundTripper for all requests.
    
    Previously we were creating a new http.Transport for each request, and
    selectively overriding the Proxy member. Since that code was first
    added, http.DefaultTransport has gotten other non-zero settings than
    Proxy: Dial and TLSHandshakeTimeout.

    https://code.google.com/p/go/source/diff?spec=svnc8edfe4ddd5a28d929503ac34d3918759518970c&name=c8edfe4ddd5a&r=c8edfe4ddd5a28d929503ac34d3918759518970c&format=side&path=/src/pkg/net/http/transport.go
    
    We want to use those settings, but we also want to disable the default
    ProxyFromEnvironment. Creating a new Transport every time was messing
    with persistent connections; I watched as meek-client made a new TCP
    connection for every request. With this change, it reuses the same
    connection. Something must have changed in the http library (perhaps one
    of the revisions cited above), because I remember it using a persistent
    connection in the past.
    
    This only makes a difference when not using --helper. The browser helper
    handles all its own persistence stuff.
