Allow easier access to site on a http:// URL

See original GitHub issue

Currently, the URL scheme used to access the MediaWiki instance is hardcoded to https in the raw_call function of client.py. This makes it impossible to use mwclient wit a wiki which is hosted under an unencrypted http:// URL.

This should be made configurable (either by adding a scheme parameter to the Site constructor or by allowing a full URL instead of just the hostname there).

Wouldn’t a specific parameter be a neater way to achieve this, instead of relying on a specific, opaque data structure and the custom code to handle it?

I’ve only kept it for backwards compatibility, but I wouldn’t mind if we introduced a new parameter and deprecated the old syntax and then removed it with the next major release or something.

@danmichaelo shall we reopen #213 then (and this issue as well), provided that it also removes the special handling of the host parameter in the code I quoted above?
