Changed the handling of read/write errors in Curl_perform() to allow a

a fresh connection to be made in such cases and the request retransmitted.
This should fix test case 160.  Added test case 1079 in an attempt to
test a similar connection dropping scenario, but as a race condition, it's
hard to test reliably.

 - Fixed CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP: When libcurl created a connection to host A then
   the app re-used the handle to do a connection to host B and then again
