Speed limits (from CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE &
CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE) were applied simply by comparing limits
with the cumulative average speed of the entire transfer; While this
might work at times with good/constant connections, in other cases it
can result to the limits simply being "ignored" for more than "short
bursts" (as told in man page).
Consider a download that goes on much slower than the limit for some
time (because bandwidth is used elsewhere, server is slow, whatever the
reason), then once things get better, curl would simply ignore the limit
up until the average speed (since the beginning of the transfer) reached
the limit. This could prove the limit useless to effectively avoid
using the entire bandwidth (at least for quite some time).
So instead, we now use a "moving starting point" as reference, and every
time at least as much as the limit as been transferred, we can reset
this starting point to the current position. This gets a good limiting
effect that applies to the "current speed" with instant reactivity (in
case of sudden speed burst).
Closes#971
After a few wasted hours hunting down the reason for slowness during a
TLS handshake that turned out to be because of TCP_NODELAY not being
set, I think we have enough motivation to toggle the default for this
option. We now enable TCP_NODELAY by default and allow applications to
switch it off.
This also makes --tcp-nodelay unnecessary, but --no-tcp-nodelay can be
used to disable it.

Bug: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2016-06/0143.html
When CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS is set to an empty string libcurl will send a
zero-byte POST. Prior to this change it was documented as sending data
from the read callback.
This also changes the wording of what happens when empty or NULL so that
it's hopefully easier to understand for people whose primary language
isn't English.

The connect-to list isn't copied so as long as the handle may be used
for a transfer the list must be valid.

Because the old OpenSSL link now redirects to their master documentation
(currently 1.1.0), which does not document the required actions for
OpenSSL <= 1.0.2.
Previously, when a stream was closed with other than NGHTTP2_NO_ERROR
by RST_STREAM, underlying TCP connection was dropped. This is
undesirable since there may be other streams multiplexed and they are
very much fine. This change introduce new error code
CURLE_HTTP2_STREAM, which indicates stream error that only affects the
relevant stream, and connection should be kept open. The existing
CURLE_HTTP2 means connection error in general.

As these two options provide identical functionality, the former for
SOCK5 proxies and the latter for HTTP proxies, merged the two options
together.
As such CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE is marked as deprecated as of
7.49.0.
The define is not in our name space and is therefore not protected by
our API promises.
It was only really used by libcurl internals but was mostly erased from
there already in 8aabbf5 (March 2015). This is supposedly the final
death blow to that define from everywhere.
As a side-effect, making sure _MPRINTF_REPLACE is gone and not used, I
made the lib tests in tests/libtest/ use curl_printf.h for its redefine
magic and then subsequently the use of sprintf() got banned in the tests
as well (as it is in libcurl internals) and I then replaced them all
with snprintf().
In the unlikely event that any users is actually using this define and
gets sad by this change, it is very easily copied to the user's own
code.
Supports HTTP/2 over clear TCP
- Optimize switching to HTTP/2 by removing calls to init and setup
before switching. Switching will eventually call setup and setup calls
init.
- Supports new version to “force” the use of HTTP/2 over clean TCP
- Add common line parameter “--http2-prior-knowledge” to the Curl
command line tool.
The two options are almost the same, except in the case of OpenSSL:
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION OpenSSL session internals is SSL_CTX *.
CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR OpenSSL session internals is SSL *.
For backwards compatibility we couldn't modify CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION to
return an SSL pointer for OpenSSL.
Also, add support for the 'internals' member to point to SSL object for
the other backends axTLS, PolarSSL, Secure Channel, Secure Transport and
wolfSSL.

- Add tests.
- Add an example to CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.3.
- Add --tftp-no-options to expose CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.
Bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/481
Some TFTP server implementations ignore the "TFTP Option extension"
(RFC 1782-1784, 2347-2349), or implement it in a flawed way, causing
problems with libcurl. Another switch for curl_easy_setopt
"CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS" is introduced which prevents libcurl from
sending TFTP option requests to a server, avoiding many problems caused
by faulty implementations.

The CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE option has been documented to handle
empty strings specially since curl-7_25_0-31-g05a443a but the behavior
was unintentionally removed in curl-7_38_0-47-gfa7d04f.
This commit restores the original behavior and clarifies it in the
documentation that NULL and "" have both the same meaning when passed
to CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE.

... even for those that don't support providing anything in the
'internals' struct member since it offers a convenient way for
applications to figure this out.
If the port number in the proxy string ended weirdly or the number is
too large, skip it. Mostly as a means to bail out early if a "bare" IPv6
numerical address is used without enclosing brackets.
Also mention the bracket requirement for IPv6 numerical addresses to the
man page for CURLOPT_PROXY.

- Warn that cookies without a domain are sent to any domain:
CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, --cookie
- Note that imported Set-Cookie cookies without a domain are no longer
exported:
CURLINFO_COOKIELIST, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, --cookie-jar
Put braces around empty "if" body in libcurl.m4 check to avoid warning:
suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement
and make it work with -Werror builds.
