elixir-sparkpost Add support for OAuth 1.0 or decouple HTTP client from base lib

Our SparkPost server is sitting behind an OAuth 1.0 gateway on our internal network. While adding OAuth support would probably be a heavyweight approach--I wonder if there would be some way to decouple the specific HTTP client being used, for a more bring-your-own approach?

That's an interesting idea @mje113 - we actually do this type of de-coupling with our PHP library. It's bring your own HTTP lib. Do you have any ideas around what that might look like architecturally? Is there a specific lib you have in mind that you'd want to use?

@mje113 Jumping in here because I've been working on getting SparkPost moved over to HTTPoison on top of Hackney over HTTPotion on iBrowse (see #12). We've also discussed using dependency injection with on #13 which in theory would allow you to bring your HTTP communication layer.

@DavidAntaramian Cool, I'll check that out. I managed to side-step my OAuth requirement for the time being so this issue fell off my immediate radar.
