Speed limits (from CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE &
CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE) were applied simply by comparing limits
with the cumulative average speed of the entire transfer; While this
might work at times with good/constant connections, in other cases it
can result to the limits simply being "ignored" for more than "short
bursts" (as told in man page).
Consider a download that goes on much slower than the limit for some
time (because bandwidth is used elsewhere, server is slow, whatever the
reason), then once things get better, curl would simply ignore the limit
up until the average speed (since the beginning of the transfer) reached
the limit. This could prove the limit useless to effectively avoid
using the entire bandwidth (at least for quite some time).
So instead, we now use a "moving starting point" as reference, and every
time at least as much as the limit as been transferred, we can reset
this starting point to the current position. This gets a good limiting
effect that applies to the "current speed" with instant reactivity (in
case of sudden speed burst).
Closes#971
Make (most) example snippets use the example.com domain instead of the
random ones picked and used before. Some of those were probably
legitimate sites and some not. example.com is designed for this purpose.
Supports HTTP/2 over clear TCP
- Optimize switching to HTTP/2 by removing calls to init and setup
before switching. Switching will eventually call setup and setup calls
init.
- Supports new version to “force” the use of HTTP/2 over clean TCP
- Add common line parameter “--http2-prior-knowledge” to the Curl
command line tool.
- Add tests.
- Add an example to CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.3.
- Add --tftp-no-options to expose CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.
Bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/481
The behavior has been clarified in CURLOPT_FTP_USE_{EPRT,EPSV}.3 man
pages since curl-7_12_3~131. This patch makes it clear in the curl.1
man page, too.

- Warn that cookies without a domain are sent to any domain:
CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, --cookie
- Note that imported Set-Cookie cookies without a domain are no longer
exported:
CURLINFO_COOKIELIST, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, --cookie-jar
- Add new option CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL to allow specifying a default
protocol for schemeless URLs.
- Add new tool option --proto-default to expose
CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL.
In the case of schemeless URLs libcurl will behave in this way:
When the option is used libcurl will use the supplied default.
When the option is not used, libcurl will follow its usual plan of
guessing from the hostname and falling back to 'http'.
- Clarify that FILE and SCP are disabled by default since 7.19.4
- Add that SMB and SMBS are disabled by default since 7.40.0
- Add CURLPROTO_SMBS to the list of protocols
New tool option --ssl-no-revoke.
New value CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE for CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS.
Currently this option applies only to WinSSL where we have automatic
certificate revocation checking by default. According to the
ssl-compared chart there are other backends that have automatic checking
(NSS, wolfSSL and DarwinSSL) so we could possibly accommodate them at
some later point.

Add new option --data-raw which is almost the same as --data but does
not have a special interpretation of the @ character.
Prior to this change there was no (easy) way to pass the @ character as
the first character in POST data without it being interpreted as a
special character.
