When NSS-powered libcurl connected to a SSL server with
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER equal to zero, NSS remembered that the peer
certificate was accepted by libcurl and did not ask the second time when
connecting to the same server with CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER equal to one.
This patch turns off the SSL session cache for the particular SSL socket
if peer verification is disabled. In order to avoid any performance
impact, the peer verification is completely skipped in that case, which
makes it even faster than before.

Introducing a few CURL_SOCKOPT* defines for conveniance. The new
CURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED signals to libcurl that the socket is to
be treated as already connected and thus it will skip the connect()
call.
... and update the curl.1 and curl_easy_setopt.3 man pages such that
they do not suggest to use an OpenSSL utility if curl is not built
against OpenSSL.

On Windows, translate WSAGetLastError() to errno values as GNU
TLS does it internally, too. This is necessary because send() and
recv() on Windows don't set errno when they fail but GNU TLS
expects a proper errno value.

When curl calls a function from that library then it needs to
explicitly link to the library instead of piggybacking on
libcurl's own dependency. Without this, GNU ld with the
--no-add-needed flag fails when linking (which Fedora now does
by default).

When getting multiple URLs, curl didn't properly reset the byte counter
after a successful transfer so if the subsequent transfer failed it
would wrongly use the previous byte counter and behave badly (segfault)
because of that. The code assumes that the byte counter and the 'stream'
pointer is well in synch.

When configured with '--without-ssl --with-nss', NTLM authentication
now uses NSS crypto library for MD5 and DES. For MD4 we have a local
implementation in that case. More details are available at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/603783
In order to get it working, curl_global_init() must be called with
CURL_GLOBAL_SSL or CURL_GLOBAL_ALL. That's necessary because NSS needs
to be initialized globally and we do so only when the NSS library is
actually required by protocol. The mentioned call of curl_global_init()
is responsible for creating of the initialization mutex.
There was also slightly changed the NSS initialization scenario, in
particular, loading of the NSS PEM module. It used to be loaded always
right after the NSS library was initialized. Now the library is
initialized as soon as any SSL or NTLM is required, while the PEM module
is prevented from being loaded until the SSL is actually required.
curl didn't properly handle escaping characters in a URL with the use of
backslash. It did an attempt, but that failed as reported in bug
3022551. The described example was using the URL
"http://example.com?{AB,C\,D}".
I've now removed the special-handling of letters following the backslash
and I also removed the bad extra check that triggered this particular
bug.
