[PATCHv2 0/7] Introduce perl LWP-based flexible downloader function

[Stefan Schantl <stefan.schantl@ipfire.org>]

This reworked patchset contains a libwwwperl based flexible downloader
function which easily can be used to download files or grab and display any
web content.

The function now has been moved into an own perl library file
(http-client-functions.pl) in order to cleanup the general functions
library file. This should help to speed up the WUI by avoid to load to
much and big perl modules.

The FetchPublicIp function has been reworked to use the new downloader
and therefore moved to the http-client-functions file. As a result of
this, the GetDyndnsRedIP function, which is using that function also
has to be moved to the new library file and some existing CGI files needed
to be adjusted to work properly again.

The following changes from the feedback of the previously sent patchset
are also part of this patchset:

* Move the downloader into a seperate file.
* Die in case no URL has been passed to the downloader.
* Allow to specify the timeout time (default to 60sec if not set) insted of hardcode it.
