Add possibility to override require() about rewire

[jhnns]

It doesn't work because currently rewire executes the module as usual. After that it provides setters and getters to change internal variables. You need to replace the https module before the module is executed.

Maybe that's possible, but then we'll need to add a second parameter to rewire():

var myAgent = rewire("./myAgent.js", {
    https: { Agent: agentMock }
});

This is exactly what proxyquire does. Only require manipulation to help isolate tests, no eval:

Righty right

This is sorely missed from this module. If we had this, we would not need to alter code structure to fit the tests.
