When using the multi interface, a SOCKS proxy, and a connection that
wouldn't immediately consider itself connected (which my Linux tests do
by default), libcurl would be tricked into doing _two_ connects to the
SOCKS proxy when it setup the data connection and then of course the
second attempt would fail miserably and cause error.
This problem is a regression that was introduced by commit
4a42e5cdaa that was introduced in the 7.21.7 release.

Introduced the initial setup to allow closesocket callbacks by making
sure sclose() is only ever called from one place in the libcurl source
and still run all test cases fine.
When connecting to a socks or similar proxy we do the proxy handshake at
once when we know the TCP connect is completed and we only consider the
"connection" complete after the proxy handshake. This fixes test 564
which is now no longer considered disabled.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-04/0127.html
asyn-ares.c and asyn-thread.c are two separate backends that implement
the same (internal) async resolver API for libcurl to use. Backend is
specified at build time.
The internal resolver API is defined in asyn.h for asynch resolvers.
When checking if an existing RTSP connection is alive or not, the
checkconnection function might be called with a SessionHandle pointer
being NULL and then referenced causing a crash. This happened only using
the multi interface.

Introducing a few CURL_SOCKOPT* defines for conveniance. The new
CURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED signals to libcurl that the socket is to
be treated as already connected and thus it will skip the connect()
call.
When the callback returns an error, this function must make sure to return
CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK properly and not CURLE_OK as before to allow the
callback to properly abort the operation.
The idea that the protocol and socktype is part of name resolving in the
libc functions is nuts. We keep the name resolver functions assume
TCP/STREAM and we make sure that when we want to connect to a UDP
service we use the correct UDP/DGRAM set instead. This bug was because
the ->protocol field was not always set correctly.
This bug was only affecting ipv6-disabled non-cares non-threaded builds.

When using the multi interface and connecting to a host name that
resolves to multiple IP addresses, there was no logic that made it
continue to the next IP if connecting to the first address times
out. This is now corrected.
The IP version choice was previously only in the UserDefined struct
within the SessionHandle, but since we sometimes alter that option
during a request we need to have it on a per-connection basis.
I also moved more "init conn" code into the allocate_conn() function
which is designed for that purpose more or less.
As this function uses return code 0 to mean that there is no timeout, it
needs to check that it doesn't return a time left value that is exactly
zero. It could lead to libcurl doing an extra 1000 ms select() call and
thus not timing out as accurately as it should.
I fell over this bug when working on the bug 3061535 but this fix does
not correct that problem alone, although this is a problem that needs to
be fixed.

The timeout is set for the connect phase already at the start of the
request so we should not add a new one, and we MUST not set expire to 0
as that will remove any other potentially existing timeouts.
Curl_getconnectinfo() is changed to return a proper curl_socket_t for
the last socket so that it'll work more portably (and cause less
compiler warnings).
When the progress callback is called during the TCP connection, an error
return would accidentally not abort the operation as intended but would
instead be counted as a failure to connect to that particular IP and
libcurl would just continue to try the next. I made singleipconnect()
and trynextip() return CURLcode properly.
Added bonus: it corrected the error code for bad --interface usages,
like tested in test 1084 and test 1085.

When a hostname resolves to multiple IP addresses and the first one
tried doesn't work, the socket for the second attempt may get dropped on
the floor, causing the request to eventually time out. The issue is that
when using kqueue (as on mac and bsd platforms) instead of select, the
kernel removes the first fd from kqueue when it is closed (in trynextip,
connect.c:503). Trynextip() then goes on to open a new socket, which
gets assigned the same number as the one it just closed. Later in
multi.c, socket_cb is not called because the fd is already in
multi->sockhash, so the new socket is never added to kqueue.
The correct fix is to ensure that socket_cb is called to remove the fd
when trynextip() closes the socket, and again to re-add it after
singleipsocket(). I'm not sure how to cleanly do that, but the attached
patch works around the problem in an admittedly kludgy way by delaying
the close to ensure that the newly-opened socket gets a different fd.
Daniel's added comment: I didn't spot a way to easily do a nicer fix so
I've proceeded with Ben's patch.

Dirk Manske reported a regression. When connecting with the multi
interface, there were situations where libcurl wouldn't store
connect time correctly as it used to (and is documented to) do.
Using his fine sample program we could repeat it, and I wrote up
test case 573 using that code. The problem does not easily show
itself using the local test suite though.
The fix, also as suggested by Dirk, is a bit on the ugly side as
it adds yet another call to Curl_verboseconnect() and setting the
TIMER_CONNECT time. That situation is subject for some closer
inspection in the future.
Kenny To filed the bug report #2963679 with patch to fix a
problem he experienced with doing multi interface HTTP POST over
a proxy using PROXYTUNNEL. He found a case where it would connect
fine but bits.tcpconnect was not set correct so libcurl didn't
work properly.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2963679)
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2870221) that libcurl returned an
incorrect return code from the internal trynextip() function which caused
him grief. This is a regression that was introduced in 7.19.1 and I find it
strange it hasn't hit us harder, but I won't persue into figuring out
exactly why.
