Since curl's own memory debugging system redefines free() calls to track
and fiddle with memory, it cannot be used on memory allocated by 3rd
party libraries.
Third party libraries SHOULD NOT require free() to release allocated
resources for this reason - and libs can use separate healp allocators
on some systems (like Windows) so free() doesn't necessarily work
anyway.

... 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.

... and as a practical side-effect, make sure that the
Curl_easyopts_check() function is asserted in debug builds, which we
want to detect mismatches between the options list in easyoptions.c and
the options in curl.h

... so that a function can first use MIMEPOST and then set it to NULL to
reset it back to a blank POST.
Added test 584 to verify the fix.

... instead of at end of the DO state. This makes the timer more
accurate for the protocols that use the DOING state (such as FTP), and
simplifies how the function (now called init_perform) is called.
The timer will then include the entire procedure up to PERFORM -
including all instructions for getting the transfer started.

- Move Windows terminal init code from tool_main to tool_doswin.
- Restore the original console settings on CTRL+C and CTRL+BREAK.
Background: On Windows the curl tool changes the console settings to
enable virtual terminal processing (eg color output) if supported
(ie Win 10). The original settings are restored on exit but prior to
this change were not restored in the case of the CTRL signals.
Windows VT behavior varies depending on console/powershell/terminal;
refer to the discussion in #6226.

The script warns if the length of $opt and $desc is > 78. However, these
two variables are on totally separate lines so the check makes no sense.
Also the $bitmask field is totally forgotten. Currently this leads to
two warnings within `--resolve` and `--aws-sigv4`.
Closes#6438
