When the host name in a URL is given as an IPv4 numerical address, the
address can be specified with dotted numericals in four different ways:
a32, a.b24, a.b.c16 or a.b.c.d and each part can be specified in
decimal, octal (0-prefixed) or hexadecimal (0x-prefixed).
Instead of passing on the name as-is and leaving the handling to the
underlying name functions, which made them not work with c-ares but work
with getaddrinfo, this change now makes the curl URL API itself detect
and "normalize" host names specified as IPv4 numericals.
The WHATWG URL Spec says this is an okay way to specify a host name in a
URL. RFC 3896 does not allow them, but curl didn't prevent them before
and it seems other RFC 3896-using tools have not either. Host names used
like this are widely supported by other tools as well due to the
handling being done by getaddrinfo and friends.
I decided to add the functionality into the URL API itself so that all
users of these functions get the benefits, when for example wanting to
compare two URLs. Also, it makes curl built to use c-ares now support
them as well and make curl builds more consistent.
The normalization makes HTTPS and virtual hosted HTTP work fine even
when curl gets the address specified using one of the "obscure" formats.

According to Microsoft document MS-NLMP, current flags usage is not
accurate: flag NTLMFLAG_NEGOTIATE_NTLM2_KEY controls the use of
extended security in an NTLM authentication message and NTLM version 2
cannot be negotiated within the protocol.
The solution implemented here is: if the extended security flag is set,
prefer using NTLM version 2 (as a server featuring extended security
should also support version 2). If version 2 has been disabled at
compile time, use extended security.
Tests involving NTLM are adjusted to this new behavior.

This was previously defined by the obsolete AC_TYPE_SIGNAL macro,
which was removed in 2682e5f5. The deprecation text says
> Your code may safely assume C89 semantics that RETSIGTYPE is void.
So, remove it and just use void instead.

After 957bc1881e686f9714c4e6a01bf33535091f0e21, we no longer compute an
expected_size for directories. This has the upshot that when we compare
even an empty Range with the available size, we fail.
This brings back the previous behaviour, which was to succeed, but with
empty content. This also removes the "Accept-ranges: bytes" header,
which is nonsensical on directories.

When asked to resume a download, libcurl will convert that to HTTP logic
and if then the entire file is already transferred it will result in a
416 response from the HTTP server. With CURLOPT_FAILONERRROR set in that
scenario, it should *not* lead to an error return.

Using the %NOLISTENPORT to trigger a connection failure is somewhat
"risky" (since it isn't guaranteed to not be listened to) and caused

which is the purpose of this test.

HTTP auth "accidentally" worked before this cleanup since the code would
always overwrite the connection credentials with the credentials from
the most recent transfer and since HTTP auth is typically done first
thing, this has not been an issue. It was still wrong and subject to
possible race conditions or future breakage if the sequence of functions
would change.
The data.set.str[] strings MUST remain unmodified exactly as set by the
user, and the credentials to use internally are instead set/updated in
state.aptr.*
Added test 675 to verify different credentials used in two requests done
over a reused HTTP connection, which previously behaved wrongly.

- Deduplicate the logic used by write-out and write-out json.
Rather than have separate writeLong, writeString, etc, logic for
each of write-out and write-out json instead have respective shared
functions that can output either format and a 'use_json' parameter to
indicate whether it is json that is output.
This will make it easier to maintain. Rather than have to go through
two sets of logic now we only have to go through one.
- Support write-out %{errormsg} and %{exitcode} in json.
- Clarify in the doc that %{exitcode} is the exit code of the transfer.
Prior to this change it just said "The numerical exitcode" which
implies it's the exit code of the tool, and it's not necessarily that.
