Allow this in the WSClient constructor as well.

Can you confirm that the wsdl file location is a URI and PHP will do its
WSDL caching thing automatically?  Would it be useful to be able to give
the WSDL as a string? Can this be supported with the current ext/soap
WSDL parsing code that we're using?

I would prefer to specify the interface as an option.  The option should
be specifiable on the WSClient constructor as well (in which case it
specifies the default interface). If the interface is not specified,
then

- if the WSDL has only one interface, then use that

- if the WSDL has multiple interfaces, then do whatever ext/soap does
now (what does it do?)

Make the interface argument optional.  If getProxy doesn't specify the
interface, and the WSClient options do, then use that to determine the
proxy, otherwise do the same as the WSClientProxy constructor with no
interface specified.
