5fc01455b7 Decode content when retrieved, use bs4 to detect encoding if non-Unicode
UrlBase has been modified as follows:
- the "data" variable now holds bytes
- decoded content is stored in a new variable "text"
- functionality from get_content() has been split out into
  get_raw_content() which returns "data" and download_content() which
  calls read_content() and sets the download related variables.
  This allows for subclasses to do their own decoding and parsers to
  use bytes.

The email package provides the message_from_string() convenience
function which avoids the need to create a file-like object.
Indeed http.client.HTTPMessage is implemented using email.message.Message.

Fix CSV output containing increasing number of null byte characters.
The CSV buffer is being truncated on each new row, but since the
stream's pointer isn't also being reset, each new row starts at the same
position as the previous row, but with null bytes up until that point.
This leads to increasing growth in the length of each CSV row, since
each line will be padded with null bytes equivalent to the previous
row's length.

workaround new limitation in requests
newer requests do not expose the internal SSL socket object so we
cannot verify certificates. there was work to allow custom
verification routines which we could use, but this never finished:

https://github.com/shazow/urllib3/pull/257

so right now, just treat missing socket information as if the cert was
missing.

Closes: #76

fb1debaa68 Fix incompatible pointer type warnings
The warnings looked like this:

    htmlparse.c: In function ‘yyparse’:
    htmlparse.c:1810:18: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘yyerror’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
    htmlparse.y:40:13: note: expected ‘PyObject ** {aka struct _object **}’ but argument is of type ‘PyObject * {aka struct _object *}’
    htmlparse.c:1927:12: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘yyerror’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
    htmlparse.y:40:13: note: expected ‘PyObject ** {aka struct _object **}’ but argument is of type ‘PyObject * {aka struct _object *}’

The argument is not used, so it doesn't really matter what pointer type
it is.

03dfe3d3a1 Fix "operation on ... may be undefined" [-Wsequence-point] warnings
Fixes a bunch of warnings like

  htmlparse.y:509:25: warning: operation on ‘self->userData->buf’ may be undefined [-Wsequence-point]
  htmlparse.y:518:29: warning: operation on ‘self->userData->tmp_buf’ may be undefined [-Wsequence-point]

which were a result of (macro-expanded) code like this (simplified):

  if ((tmp = (tmp = PyMem_Realloc(...))) == NULL) return NULL;

The PyMem_Resize(p, ...) macro assigns the new value to p before
returning it, so there's no need to assign it again.

See http://bugs.python.org/issue1668036 for evidence (from 2007) that
this is indeed a documented side-effect of the macro API.

9d899d1dfa add --no-robots commandline flag
While this flag can be abused, it seems to me like a legitimate use
case that you want to check a fairly small document for mistakes,
which includes references to a website which has a robots.txt that
denies all robots. It turns out that most websites do *not* add a
permission for LinkCheck to use their site, and some sites, like the
Debian BTS for example, are very hostile with bots in general.

Between me using linkcheck and me using my web browser to check those
links one by one, there is not a big difference. In fact, using
linkcheck may be *better* for the website because it will use HEAD
requests instead of a GET, and will not fetch all page elements
(javascript, images, etc) which can often be fairly big.

Besides, hostile users will patch the software themselves: it took me
only a few minutes to disable the check, and a few more to make that
into a proper patch.

By forcing robots.txt without any other option, we are hurting our
good users and not keeping hostile users from doing harm.

The patch is still incomplete, but works. It lacks: documentation and
unit tests.

Closes: #508
