This is primarily interesting for cases where CURLOPT_NOBODY is set as
previously curl would not return an error for this case.
MDTM getting 550 now also returns this error (it returned
CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE before) in order to unify return codes for
missing files across protocols and specific FTP commands.
libcurl already returns error on a 550 as a MDTM response (when
CURLOPT_FILETIME is set). If CURLOPT_NOBODY is not set, an error would
happen subsequently anyway since the RETR command would fail.
Add test 1913 and 1914 to verify. Updated several tests accordingly due
to the updated SIZE behavior.

researching it, it turned out he got a 550 response back from a SIZE command
and then I fell over the text in RFC3659 that says:
The presence of the 550 error response to a SIZE command MUST NOT be taken
by the client as an indication that the file cannot be transferred in the
current MODE and TYPE.
In other words: the change I did on September 30th 2008 and that has been
included in the last two releases were a regression and a bad idea. We MUST
NOT take a 550 response from SIZE as a hint that the file doesn't exist.
gets a 550 response back for the cases where a download (or NOBODY) is
wanted. It still allows a 550 as response if the SIZE is used as part of an
upload process (like if resuming an upload is requested and the file isn't
there before the upload). I also modified the FTP test server and a few test
cases accordingly to match this modified behavior.
are not, due mainly to the lack of support for XML character entities
(e.g. & => & ). This will make it easier to validate test files using
tools like xmllint, as well as edit and view them using XML tools.
