No longer needed as of #1406 

Expose public API for creating a Call.Factory from OkHttpClient instance?
This would simplify delegation by allowing implementors of `Call.Factory` instances to create a delegate from an `OkHttpClient` (and thus get `OkHttpCall` for free). Without this there's no way to create your own `C.F` that re-uses internal machinery around OkHttp.
