... since people copy and paste code from this example and thus they get
an inefficient POST operation without a good reason and sometimes
without understanding why.
Instead this now returns as much data as possible.
To support telling a string is nul-terminated, symbol CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED
has been introduced.
Documentation updated accordingly.
symbols in versions updated. Added form API symbols deprecation info.
This feature is badly supported in Windows: as a replacement, a caller has
to use curl_mime_data_cb() with fread, fseek and possibly fclose
callbacks to process opened files.
The cli tool and documentation are updated accordingly.
The feature is however kept internally for form API compatibility, with
the known caveats it always had.
As a side effect, stdin size is not determined by the cli tool even if
possible and this results in a chunked transfer encoding. Test 173 is
updated accordingly.
Additional mime-specific tests.
Existing tests updated to reflect small differences (Expect: 100-continue,
data size change due to empty lines, etc).
Option -F headers= keyword added to tests.
test1135 disabled until the entry point order change is resolved.
New example smtp-mime.
Examples postit2 and multi-post converted from form API to mime API.

it is a one time *set*, not necessarily a one time use... it can be
called again if the first call failed or just listed the alternatives.
clarify that the available backends are the ones this build supports
plus add some formatting

Bug: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2017-08/0119.html
Let's add a compile time safe API to select an SSL backend. This
function needs to be called *before* curl_global_init(), and can be
called only once.
Side note: we do not explicitly test that it is called before
curl_global_init(), but we do verify that it is not called multiple times
(even implicitly).
If SSL is used before the function was called, it will use whatever the
CURL_SSL_BACKEND environment variable says (or default to the first
available SSL backend), and if a subsequent call to
curl_global_sslset() disagrees with the previous choice, it will fail
with CURLSSLSET_TOO_LATE.
The function also accepts an "avail" parameter to point to a (read-only)
NULL-terminated list of available backends. This comes in real handy if
an application wants to let the user choose between whatever SSL backends
the currently available libcurl has to offer: simply call
curl_global_sslset(-1, NULL, &avail);
which will return CURLSSLSET_UNKNOWN_BACKEND and populate the avail
variable to point to the relevant information to present to the user.
Just like with the HTTP/2 push functions, we have to add the function
declaration of curl_global_sslset() function to the header file
*multi.h* because VMS and OS/400 require a stable order of functions
declared in include/curl/*.h (where the header files are sorted
alphabetically). This looks a bit funny, but it cannot be helped.

The required low-level logic was already available as part of
`libssh2` (via `LIBSSH2_FLAG_COMPRESS` `libssh2_session_flag()`[1]
option.)
This patch adds the new `libcurl` option `CURLOPT_SSH_COMPRESSION`
(boolean) and the new `curl` command-line option `--compressed-ssh`
to request this `libssh2` feature. To have compression enabled, it
is required that the SSH server supports a (zlib) compatible
compression method and that `libssh2` was built with `zlib` support
enabled.

Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/1732
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1735
Update the progress timers `t_nslookup`, `t_connect`, `t_appconnect`,
`t_pretransfer`, and `t_starttransfer` to track the total times for
these activities when a redirect is followed. Previously, only the times
for the most recent request would be tracked.
Related changes:
- Rename `Curl_pgrsResetTimesSizes` to `Curl_pgrsResetTransferSizes`
now that the function only resets transfer sizes and no longer
modifies any of the progress timers.
- Add a bool to the `Progress` struct that is used to prevent
double-counting `t_starttransfer` times.
Added test case 1399.
Fixes#522 and Known Bug 1.8
Closes#1602

Commit curl-7_54_0-118-g8b2f22e changed the output format of curl --help
to use <file> and <dir> instead of FILE and DIR, which caused zsh.pl to
produce a broken completion script:
% curl --<TAB>
_curl:10: no such file or directory: seconds
Closes#1779
