As described in http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/performance.html#Reuse_of_HttpClient_instance, it's preferable to have a single HttpClient for all connections, as creating/closing the client is expensive.
Attached patch patchSplinter Review
This patch does a few things:
* Uses an AndroidHttpClient instead of an HttpClient. This automatically adds the client to a connection manager for us (so we don't have to worry about closing connections, being thread safe, etc)
* Uses our Fennec user agent
* Reuses the same HttpClient

Some sample times (ms) of how long it takes to fetch the Google favicon when doing some searches:

Before patch: 492, 568, 439, 553, 404, 394, 458
After patch: 255, 189, 80, 169, 61, 180, 94
