Add 'nosend' option that causes the SoapClient to return a RequestContext instead of sending the soap envelope. It is intended that the caller use another transport such as Twisted to send the envelope. The RequestContext provides re-entry points to process the reply (succeeded() & failed()). Also, fix ticket #361 by UTF-8 encoding the soap action that is added to the http headers.
