Comment (by dd32):

 Judging by that list, I think we can..
  * Keep `WP_Http::is_ip_address()` as a util
  * Stub `_get_first_available_transport()` /
 `$wp_http->_get_first_available_transport` and `return null`
  * Possibly keep `WP_Http::buildCookieHeader` or stub it out and `return
 null`.

 Looking at a few uses where `WP_Http::buildCookieHeader` was used, the
 HTTP api has been extended in such a way that it's broken under 4.6 or
 they're replacing large chunks of it anyway.
