1 - always allocate the struct in protocol->setup_connection. Some
protocol handlers had to get this function added.
2 - always free at the end of a request. This is also an attempt to keep
less memory in the handle after it is completed.
Instead of going 50,100,150 etc millisecond delay time when nothing has
been found to do or wait for, we now start lower and double each loop as
in 4,8,16,32 etc.
This lowers the minimum wait without sacrifizing the longer wait too
much with unnecessary CPU cycles burnt.

This reverts commit 7ed25cc, reinstating commit 8ec2cb5.
As of 18-jul-2013 we still do have code in libcurl that makes use of these
memory functions. Commit 8ec2cb5 comment still applies and is yet valid.
These memory functions are solely used in Windows builds, so all related
code is protected with '#ifdef WIN32' preprocessor conditional compilation
directives.
Specifically, wcsdup() _wcsdup() are used when building a Windows target with
UNICODE and USE_WINDOWS_SSPI preprocessor symbols defined. This is the case
when building a Windows UNICODE target with Windows native SSL/TLS support
enabled.
Realizing that wcsdup() _wcsdup() are used is a bit tricky given that usage
of these is hidden behind _tcsdup() which is MS way of dealing with code
that must tolerate UNICODE and non-UNICODE compilation. Additionally, MS
header files and those compatible from other compilers use this preprocessor
conditional compilation directive in order to select at compilation time
whether 'wide' or 'ansi' MS API functions are used.
Without this code, Windows build targets with Windows native SSL/TLS support
enabled and MemoryTracking support enabled misbehave in tracking memory usage,
regardless of being a UNICODE enabled build or not.
When doing multi-part formposts, libcurl used a pseudo-random value that
was seeded with time(). This turns out to be bad for users who formpost
data that is provided with users who then can guess how the boundary
string will look like and then they can forge a different formpost part
and trick the receiver.
My advice to such implementors is (still even after this change) to not
rely on the boundary strings being cryptographically strong. Fix your
code and logic to not depend on them that much!
I moved the Curl_rand() function into the sslgen.c source file now to be
able to take advantage of the SSL library's random function if it
provides one. If not, try to use the RANDOM_FILE for seeding and as a
last resort keep the old logic, just modified to also add microseconds
which makes it harder to properly guess the exact seed.
The formboundary() function in formdata.c is now using 64 bit entropy
for the boundary and therefore the string of dashes was reduced by 4
letters and there are 16 hex digits following it. The total length is
thus still the same.

Follow-up fix from 7d80ed64e4.
The SessionHandle may not be around to use when we restore the sigpipe
sighandler so we store the no_signal boolean in the local struct to know
if/how to restore.
... and restore the ordinary handling again when it returns. This is
done for curl_easy_perform() and curl_easy_cleanup() only for now - and
only when built to use OpenSSL as backend as this is the known culprit
for the spurious SIGPIPEs people have received.

Reported by: Lluís Batlle i Rossell
When curl_multi_wait() finds no file descriptor to wait for, it returns
instantly and this must be handled gracefully within curl_easy_perform()
or cause a busy-loop. Starting now, repeated fast returns without any
file descriptors is detected and a gradually increasing sleep will be
used (up to a max of 1000 milliseconds) before continuing the loop.

This reverts commit 8ec2cb5544.
We don't have any code anywhere in libcurl (or the curl tool) that use
wcsdup so there's no such memory use to track. It seems to cause mild
problems with the Borland compiler though that we may avoid by reverting
this change again.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-05/0070.html
By introducing an internal alternative to curl_multi_init() that accepts
parameters to set the hash sizes, easy handles will now use tiny socket
and connection hash tables since it will only ever add a single easy
handle to that multi handle.
This decreased the number mallocs in test 40 (which is a rather simple
and typical easy interface use case) from 1142 to 138. The maximum
amount of memory allocated used went down from 118969 to 78805.
As of 25-mar-2013 wcsdup() _wcsdup() and _tcsdup() are only used in
WIN32 specific code, so tracking of these has not been extended for
other build targets. Without this fix, memory tracking system on
WIN32 builds, when using these functions, would provide misleading
results.
In order to properly extend this support for all targets curl.h
would have to define curl_wcsdup_callback prototype and consequently
wchar_t should be visible before that in curl.h. IOW curl_wchar_t
defined in curlbuild.h and this pulling whatever system header is
required to get wchar_t definition.
Additionally a new curl_global_init_mem() function that also receives
user defined wcsdup() callback would be required.
Remove internal separated behavior of the easy vs multi intercace.
curl_easy_perform() is now using the multi interface itself.
Several minor multi interface quirks and bugs have been fixed in the
process.

This commit renames lib/setup.h to lib/curl_setup.h and
renames lib/setup_once.h to lib/curl_setup_once.h.
Removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard foreign
to libcurl. [1]
Removes the need and presence of an alarming notice we carried
in old setup_once.h [2]
----------------------------------------
1 - lib/setup_once.h used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro as header inclusion guard
up to commit ec691ca3 which changed this to HEADER_CURL_SETUP_ONCE_H,
this single inclusion guard is enough to ensure that inclusion of
lib/setup_once.h done from lib/setup.h is only done once.
Additionally lib/setup.h has always used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro to
protect inclusion of setup_once.h even after commit ec691ca3, this
was to avoid a circular header inclusion triggered when building a
c-ares enabled version with c-ares sources available which also has
a setup_once.h header. Commit ec691ca3 exposes the real nature of
__SETUP_ONCE_H usage in lib/setup.h, it is a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl belonging to c-ares's setup_once.h
The renaming this commit does, fixes the circular header inclusion,
and as such removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl. Macro __SETUP_ONCE_H no longer used in libcurl.
2 - Due to the circular interdependency of old lib/setup_once.h and the
c-ares setup_once.h header, old file lib/setup_once.h has carried
back from 2006 up to now days an alarming and prominent notice about
the need of keeping libcurl's and c-ares's setup_once.h in sync.
Given that this commit fixes the circular interdependency, the need
and presence of mentioned notice is removed.
All mentioned interdependencies come back from now old days when
the c-ares project lived inside a curl subdirectory. This commit
removes last traces of such fact.

A bundle is a list of all persistent connections to the same host.
The connection cache consists of a hash of bundles, with the
hostname as the key.
The benefits may not be obvious, but they are two:
1) Faster search for connections to reuse, since the hash
lookup only finds connections to the host in question.
2) It lays out the groundworks for an upcoming patch,
which will introduce multiple HTTP pipelines.
This patch also removes the awkward list of "closure handles",
which were needed to send QUIT commands to the FTP server
when closing a connection.
Now we allocate a separate closure handle and use that
one to close all connections.
This has been tested in a live system for a few weeks, and of
course passes the test suite.
Configuration files such as curl_config.h and all config-*.h no longer exist
nor are generated/copied into 'src' directory, now these only exist in 'lib'
directory from where curl tool sources uses them.
Additionally old src/setup.h has been refactored into src/tool_setup.h which
now pulls lib/setup.h
The possibility of a makefile needing an include path adjustment exists.
Fixed indents, coding conventions and white space edits.
Modified the c-ares completion callback function to again NOT read the
conn data when the ares handle is being taken down as then it may have
been freed already.
1 - make sure to #define macros for cookie functions in the cookie
header when cookies are disabled to avoid having to use #ifdefs in code
using those functions.
2 - move cookie-specific code to cookie.c and use the functio
conditionally as mentioned in (1).
net result: 6 #if lines removed, and 9 lines of code less
curl_easy_duphandle() was not properly duping the ares channel. The
ares_dup() function was introduced in c-ares 1.6.0 so by starting to use
this function we also raise the bar and require c-ares >= 1.6.0
(released Dec 9, 2008) for such builds.
