All methods got moved to HttpRequestFactory or MWHttpRequest or dropped.
I made the return value of the new HttpRequestFactory::request/get/post
methods null on error instead of false, so that when we drop PHP 7
support, we can use a "?string" return value. This could theoretically
change behavior of code that was switched from the old Http methods, but
probably won't. I kept the old behavior for the deprecated methods.
I changed the default value of $wgHTTPProxy from false to ''. This way
it should be usable directly without a trivial wrapper method. For the
benefit of anyone who might have set it to false in LocalSettings.php, I
also recommend casting to string just in case.
Http::$httpEngine is deprecated. Eventually it will be removed along
with the curl and PHP engines, leaving only the Guzlle engine.
I also added deprecation of MWHttpRequest::factory, which occurred in
1.31, to the release notes for 1.34. Now hopefully we can hard-deprecate
it in another couple of versions.

We already do this in many places, but there were also still plenty
of getOption(, false) calls. Change these to hasOption() for consistency.

This has been in Wikibase since 2012, but is not at all
specific to Wikibase, and doesn't even require Wikibase
to be enabled.
Having this in core will make it available to more people
and without the hassle of having to clone Wikibase to
use the script.
