Since we just started make use of free(NULL) in order to simplify code,
this change takes it a step further and:
- converts lots of Curl_safefree() calls to good old free()
- makes Curl_safefree() not check the pointer before free()
The (new) rule of thumb is: if you really want a function call that
frees a pointer and then assigns it to NULL, then use Curl_safefree().
But we will prefer just using free() from now on.
The function "free" is documented in the way that no action shall occur for
a passed null pointer. It is therefore not needed that a function caller
repeats a corresponding check.

The code used some happy eyeballs logic even _after_ CONNECT has been
sent to a proxy, while the happy eyeball phase is already (should be)
over by then.
This is solved by splitting the multi state into two separate states
introducing the new SENDPROTOCONNECT state.

When the connection code decides to close a socket it informs the multi
system via the Curl_multi_closed function. The multi system may, in
turn, invoke the CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION function with
CURL_POLL_REMOVE. This happens after the socket has already been
closed. Reorder the code so that CURL_POLL_REMOVE is called before the
socket is closed.

... for the local variable name in functions holding the return
code. Using the same name universally makes code easier to read and
follow.
Also, unify code for checking for CURLcode errors with:
if(result) or if(!result)
instead of
if(result == CURLE_OK), if(CURLE_OK == result) or if(result != CURLE_OK)
Coverify CID 1157776. Removed a superfluous if() that always evaluated
true (and an else clause that never ran), and then re-indented the
function accordingly.
As the current element in the list is free()d by Curl_llist_remove(),
when the associated connection is pending, reworked the loop to avoid
accessing the next element through e->next afterward.
... as the struct is free()d in the end anyway. It was first pointed out
to me that one of the ->msglist assignments were supposed to have been
->pending but was a copy and paste mistake when I realized none of the
clearing of pointers had to be there.
... instead of scanning through all handles, stash only the actual
handles that are in that state in the new ->pending list and scan that
list only. It should be mostly empty or very short. And only used for
pipelining.
This avoids a rather hefty slow-down especially notable if you add many
handles to the same multi handle. Regression introduced in commit
0f147887 (version 7.30.0).

Introducing Curl_expire_latest(). To be used when we the code flow only
wants to get called at a later time that is "no later than X" so that
something can be checked (and another timeout be added).
The low-speed logic for example could easily be made to set very many
expire timeouts if it would be called faster or sooner than what it had
set its own timer and this goes for a few other timers too that aren't
explictiy checked for timer expiration in the code.
If there's no condition the code that says if(time-passed >= TIME), then
Curl_expire_latest() is preferred to Curl_expire().
If there exists such a condition, it is on the other hand important that
Curl_expire() is used and not the other.

While waiting for a host resolve, check if the host cache may have
gotten the name already (by someone else), for when the same name is
resolved by several simultanoues requests.
The resolver thread occasionally gets stuck in getaddrinfo() when the
DNS or anything else is crappy or slow, so when a host is found in the
DNS cache, leave the thread alone and let itself cleanup the mess.
This reverts commit cb3e6dfa35 and instead fixes the problem
differently.
The reverted commit addressed a test failure in test 1021 by simplifying
and generalizing the code flow in a way that damaged the
performance. Now we modify the flow so that Curl_proxyCONNECT() again
does as much as possible in one go, yet still do test 1021 with and
without valgrind. It failed due to mistakes in the multi state machine.

When an error has been detected, skip the final forced call to the
progress callback by making sure to pass the current return code
variable in the Curl_done() call in the CURLM_STATE_DONE state.
This avoids the "extra" callback that could occur even if you returned
error from the progress callback.

Make all code use connclose() and connkeep() when changing the "close
state" for a connection. These two macros take a string argument with an
explanation, and debug builds of curl will include that in the debug
output. Helps tracking connection re-use/close issues.
In commit 0b3750b5c2 (released in 7.36.0) we fixed a timeout issue
but instead broke the timings.
To fix this, I introduce a new timestamp to use for the timeouts and
restored the previous timestamp and timestamp position so that the old
timer functionality is restored.
In addition to that, that change also broke connection timeouts for when
more than one connect was used (as it would then count the total time
from the first connect and not for the most recent one). Now
Curl_timeleft() has been modified so that it checks against different
start times depending on which timeout it checks.
Test 1303 is updated accordingly.

set.infilesize in this case was modified in several places, which could
lead to repeated requests using the same handle to get unintendent/wrong
consequences based on what the previous request did!
ufds might not be allocated in case nfds overflows to zero while
extra_nfds is still non-zero. udfs is then accessed within the
extra_nfds-based for loop.
Setting the TIMER_STARTSINGLE timestamp first in CONNECT has the
drawback that for actions that go back to the CONNECT state, the time
stamp is reset and for the multi_socket API there's no corresponding
Curl_expire() then so the timeout logic gets wrong!

A transfer timeout could result in an error message such as "Operation
timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 19 bytes of -1 received". This
patch removes the non-sensical "of -1" when the size of the transfer
is unknown, mirroring the logic in lib/transfer.c
With the recently added timeout "reminder" functionality, there's no
reason left for us to execute timeout code before the time is
ripe. Simplifies the handling too.
This will make the *TIMEOUT and *CONNECTTIMEOUT options more accurate
again, which probably is most important when the *_MS versions are used.
In multi_socket, make sure to update 'now' after having handled activity
on a socket.
BACKGROUND:
We have learned that on some systems timeout timers are inaccurate and
might occasionally fire off too early. To make the multi_socket API work
with this, we made libcurl execute timeout actions a bit early too if
they are within our MULTI_TIMEOUT_INACCURACY. (added in commit
2c72732ebf, present since 7.21.0)
Switching everything to the multi API made this inaccuracy problem
slightly more notable as now everyone can be affected.
Recently (commit 21091549c0) we tweaked that inaccuracy value to make
timeouts more accurate and made it platform specific. We also figured
out that we have code at places that check for fixed timeout values so
they MUST NOT run too early as then they will not trigger at all (see
commit be28223f35 and a691e04470) - so there are definitately problems
with running timeouts before they're supposed to run. (We've handled
that so far by adding the inaccuracy margin to those specific timeouts.)
The libcurl multi_socket API tells the application with a callback that
a timeout expires in N milliseconds (and it explicitly will not tell it
again for the same timeout), and the application is then supposed to
call libcurl when that timeout expires. When libcurl subsequently gets
called with curl_multi_socket_action(...CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT...), it
knows that the application thinks the timeout expired - and alas, if it
is within the inaccuracy level libcurl will run code handling that
handle.
If the application says CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT to libcurl and _isn't_
within the inaccuracy level, libcurl will not consider the timeout
expired and it will not tell the application again since the timeout
value is still the same.
NOW:
This change introduces a modified behavior here. If the application says
CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT and libcurl finds no timeout code to run, it will
inform the application about the timeout value - *again* even if it is
the same timeout that it already told about before (although libcurl
will of course tell it the updated time so that it'll still get the
correct remaining time). This way, we will not risk that the application
believes it has done its job and libcurl thinks the time hasn't come yet
to run any code and both just sit waiting. This also allows us to
decrease the MULTI_TIMEOUT_INACCURACY margin, but that will be handled
in a separate commit.
A repeated timeout update to the application risk that the timeout will
then fire again immediately and we have what basically is a busy-loop
until the time is fine even for libcurl. If that becomes a problem, we
need to address it.
When the progress callback returned 1 at a very early state, the code
would not make CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK get returned but the process
would still be interrupted. In the HTTP case, this would then cause a
CURLE_GOT_NOTHING to erroneously get returned instead.

Following commit 0aafd77fa4, replaced the internal usage of
FORMAT_OFF_T and FORMAT_OFF_TU with the external versions that we
expect API programmers to use.
This negates the need for separate definitions which were subtly
different under different platforms/compilers.
The FILE:// code doesn't support this option - and it doesn't make sense
to support it as long as it works as it does since then it'd only block
even longer.
But: setting CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE would make the transfer first
get done and then libcurl would wait until the average speed would get
low enough. This happened because the transfer happens completely in the
DO state for FILE:// but then it would still unconditionally continue in
to the PERFORM state where the speed check is made.
Starting now, the code will skip from DO_DONE to DONE immediately if no
socket is set to be recv()ed or send()ed to.
