Pablo Hoffman 549725215e Initial support for a persistent scheduler, to support pausing and resuming

* requests are serialized (using marshal by default) and stored on disk, using
  one queue per priority
* request priorities must be integers now
* breadh-first and depth-first crawling orders can now be configured
  through a new DEPTH_PRIORITY setting (see doc). backwards compatilibty with
  SCHEDULER_ORDER was kept.
* requests that can't be serialized (for example, non serializable callbacks)
  are always kept in memory queues
* adapted crawl spider to work with persitent scheduler

Pablo Hoffman ce7a787970 Big downloader refactoring to support real concurrency limits per domain/ip,
instead of global limits per spider which were a bit useless.

This removes the setting CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_PER_SPIDER and adds thre new
settings:

* CONCURRENT_REQUESTS
* CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_PER_DOMAIN
* CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_PER_IP (overrides per domain)

The AutoThrottle extension had to be disabled, but will be ported and
re-enabled soon.
