[issue171] if http authentication fails smart tries recursively to fetch the content and then crashes

[Peter Warasin at Labix Tracker]

New submission from Peter Warasin <peter at endian.it>:

if you configured a channel with wrong authnetication credentials, urllib will
try to authenticate in a recursive infinite loop. after a while smart will crash
because of too many recursions.

the attached patch solves the problem by limiting authentication attempts to 3
per connection.
