... in most cases instead of 'struct connectdata *' but in some cases in
addition to.
- We mostly operate on transfers and not connections.
- We need the transfer handle to log, store data and more. Everything in
libcurl is driven by a transfer (the CURL * in the public API).
- This work clarifies and separates the transfers from the connections
better.
- We should avoid "conn->data". Since individual connections can be used
by many transfers when multiplexing, making sure that conn->data
points to the current and correct transfer at all times is difficult
and has been notoriously error-prone over the years. The goal is to
ultimately remove the conn->data pointer for this reason.
Closes#6425
When the method is updated inside libcurl we must still not change the
method as set by the user as then repeated transfers with that same
handle might not execute the same operation anymore!
This fixes the libcurl part of #5462
Test 1633 added to verify.

"The same code is executed when the condition result is true or false,
because the code in the if-then branch and after the if statement is
identical."
