There were some odd decisions made about the implementation of some of
the required methods for MuttableMapping in the TimedCache object. This
cleans those up and makes the implementation, ever so slightly, easier
to read.

Used to alleviate long gethostbyaddr calls
Made new TimedCache and decorator to wrap
a function with a cache
* Entries looked up older than a minute (default amount)
are evicted.
* When full, evicts the oldest entry
Modifies the timeout interface to also accept a tuple (connect, read) which
would be used to set individual connect and read timeouts for Requests. Adds
Advanced documentation explaining the interface and providing guidance for
timeout values.
Fixes#649 and #1329 by making Session.headers a CaseInsensitiveDict,
and fixing the implementation of CID. Credit for the brilliant idea
to map `lowercased_key -> (cased_key, mapped_value)` goes to
@gazpachoking, thanks a bunch.
Changes from original implementation of CaseInsensitiveDict:
1. CID is rewritten as a subclass of `collections.MutableMapping`.
2. CID remembers the case of the last-set key, but `__setitem__`
and `__delitem__` will handle keys without respect to case.
3. CID returns the key case as remembered for the `keys`, `items`,
and `__iter__` methods.
4. Query operations (`__getitem__` and `__contains__`) are done in
a case-insensitive manner: `cid['foo']` and `cid['FOO']` will
return the same value.
5. The constructor as well as `update` and `__eq__` have undefined
behavior when given multiple keys that have the same `lower()`.
6. The new method `lower_items` is like `iteritems`, but keys are
all lowercased.
7. CID raises `KeyError` for `__getitem__` as normal dicts do. The
old implementation returned
6. The `__repr__` now makes it obvious that it's not a normal dict.
See PR #1333 for the discussions that lead up to this implementation
