This is a minor change in behavior after having been pointed out by Mark
Tully and discussed on the list. Initially this case would internally
call poll() with no sockets and a timeout which would equal a sleep for
that specified time.

Since there are servers that seem to return very big encrypted
data packages, we need to be able to handle those without having
an internal size limit. To avoid the buffer growing to fast to
early the initial size was decreased and the minimum free space
in the buffer was decreased as well.
During the periods of rate limitation, the speedcheck function wasn't
called and thus the values weren't updated accordingly and it would then
easily trigger wrongly once data got transferred again.
Also, the progress callback's return code was not acknowledged in this
state so it could make an "abort" return code to get ignored and not
have the documented effect of aborting an ongoing transfer.

In Metalink v3, the type attribute of url element indicates the
type of the resource the URL points to. It can include URL to the
meta data, such as BitTorrent metainfo file. In Curl, we are not
interested in these meta data URLs. Instead, we are only
interested in the HTTP and FTP URLs. This change filters out
non-HTTP and FTP URLs. If we don't filter out them, it will be
downloaded by curl and hash check will fail if hash is provided
and next URL will be tried. This change will cut this useless
network transfer.
The Curl_reconnect_request() function could end up returning a pointer
to a free()d struct when Curl_done() failed inside. Clearing the pointer
unconditionally after Curl_done() avoids this risk.

Selected socks proxy in Google's Chrome browser. Resulting in the
following environment variables:
NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8
ALL_PROXY=socks://localhost:1080/
all_proxy=socks://localhost:1080/
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8
... and libcurl didn't treat 'socks://' as socks but instead picked HTTP
proxy.

Since Metalink support requires a crypto library for hash functions
and Windows comes with the builtin CryptoAPI, this patch adds that
API as a fallback to the supported crypto libraries.
It is automatically used on Windows if no other library is provided.
