With the random popups now nailed I will include this option as part of
the same patch. If nothing else to even out the source size slighlty..

The patch to fix the challenge and helper maintenance rips out the
"deferred" support layer in the stateful helpers. It was too complex to
look into what things went wrong there and with the use somewhat dubious
in terms of stability I see no reason to keep this.

Robert: If you want to keep the "deferrer" stateful helper support in
Squid-3 then you may want to look into the interactions with NTLM helpers
as there was very bad interactions between the two in Squid-2.5. If not
lets rip it out in favor of implementing the overlapped requests
management. Implementing overlapped requests for stateful helpers is
significantly with the deferred layer ripped out.
