Limit the number of parallel downloads to just 1. 

Since the moment I took a very first look at the download code I wasn't
a friend of parallel downloads. There're several reasons for that:

- Parallel downloading needs some ugly hacks. For example downloading a
  pak file has a high chance to make asset downloads running in parallel
  unnecessary.
- Parallel downloads are hard to debug.
- There's just no need for them. I've tested several connection, 1
  GBit/s LAN, 50 MBit/s DSL, 6 MBit/s DSL, and there wasn't a
  significant difference between 1, 4 or even 16 parallel downloads.

I'm leaving the parallel download code in place. I someone really wants
parallel downloads he can bump the MAX_HTTP_HANDLES define.
