[PATCH] net/http: use require_relative to reduce syscalls

[Eric Wong]

require_relative speeds up loading of files by reducing path
lookups.  On a clean install with RubyGems-enabled,
"ruby -rnet/http -e exit" shows a reduction in failed open(2)
syscalls from 410 to 350 (x86-64 GNU/Linux).

I could not measure a time difference on my Linux-based
machines, however this should be noticeable to users of other
kernels with worse syscall and VFS performance than Linux.

Further use of require_relative will reduce lookups in other
places.
