[issue1347] hg import fails on http auth

[Jesper Noehr]

New submission from Jesper Noehr <jesper at noehr.org>:

It seems that hg import supports http URLs for importing csets, but it uses a simple 
urllib.urlopen function for that. This means that any authentication the server will 
request causes a large traceback, with an urllib 401 error.

Since mercurial supports authentication over push/pull, it would be nice if import 
used the same facility for this.

This makes sense on Bitbucket, where it would be nice if people could do something 
like 'hg import --exact http://bitbucket.org/foo/bar/nodehash/raw/' and be asked to 
enter their credentials.
