As Windows based autoconf builds don't yet define USE_WIN32_CRYPTO
either explicitly through --enable-win32-cypto or automatically on
_WIN32 based platforms, subsequent builds broke with the following
error message:
"Can't compile NTLM support without a crypto library."
Fixed an issue with the message size calculation where the raw bytes
from the buffer were interpreted as signed values rather than unsigned
values.

As it is often difficult to choose the best description for a single
feature when it spans many commits, updated the descriptions for the
recent SMB/CIFS protocol and GSS-API additions.
Don't use a hard coded size of 4 for the security layer and buffer size
in Curl_sasl_create_gssapi_security_message(), instead, use sizeof() as
we have done in the sasl_gssapi module.
Reduced the amount of free's required for the decoded challenge message
in Curl_sasl_create_gssapi_security_message() as a result of coding it
differently in the sasl_gssapi module.
Sending NTLM/Negotiate header again after successful authentication
breaks the connection with certain Proxies and request types (POST to MS
Forefront).
Prior to this change the 10-at-a-time example showed CURLE_RECV_ERROR
for the sony website because it ends the connection when the request is
missing a user agent.
Mark CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH as string to ensure that it ends up as
option in the file generated by --libcurl.

Add .nf and .fi such that the code gets wrapped in a pre on the web.
Fixed grammar, fixed formatting of the "See also" items.

The ability to do HTTP requests over a UNIX domain socket has been
requested before, in Apr 2008 [0][1] and Sep 2010 [2]. While a
discussion happened, no patch seems to get through. I decided to give it
a go since I need to test a nginx HTTP server which listens on a UNIX
domain socket.
One patch [3] seems to make it possible to use the
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION function to gain a UNIX domain socket.
Another person wrote a Go program which can do HTTP over a UNIX socket
for Docker[4] which uses a special URL scheme (though the name contains
cURL, it has no relation to the cURL library).
This patch considers support for UNIX domain sockets at the same level
as HTTP proxies / IPv6, it acts as an intermediate socket provider and
not as a separate protocol. Since this feature affects network
operations, a new feature flag was added ("unix-sockets") with a
corresponding CURL_VERSION_UNIX_SOCKETS macro.
A new CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH option is added and documented. This
option enables UNIX domain sockets support for all requests on the
handle (replacing IP sockets and skipping proxies).
A new configure option (--enable-unix-sockets) and CMake option
(ENABLE_UNIX_SOCKETS) can disable this optional feature. Note that I
deliberately did not mark this feature as advanced, this is a
feature/component that should easily be available.
