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).

Mark's new document about HTTP Retries
(https://mnot.github.io/I-D/httpbis-retry/) made me check our code and I
spotted that we don't retry failed HEAD requests which seems totally
inconsistent and I can't see any reason for that separate treatment.
So, no separate treatment for HEAD starting now. A HTTP request sent
over a reused connection that gets cut off before a single byte is
received will be retried on a fresh connection.

Regression added in 790d6de485. The was then added to avoid one
particular transfer to starve out others. But when aborting due to
reading the maxcount, the connection must be marked to be read from
again without first doing a select as for some protocols (like SFTP/SCP)
the data may already have been read off the socket.

Bug: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2016-07/0057.html
The proper FTP wildcard init is now more properly done in Curl_pretransfer()
and the corresponding cleanup in Curl_close().
The previous place of init/cleanup code made the internal pointer to be NULL
when this feature was used with the multi_socket() API, as it was made within
the curl_multi_perform() function.

Fixes#800
curl_printf.h defines printf to curl_mprintf, etc. This can cause
problems with external headers which may use
__attribute__((format(printf, ...))) markers etc.
To avoid that they cause problems with system includes, we include
curl_printf.h after any system headers. That makes the three last
headers to always be, and we keep them in this order:
curl_printf.h
curl_memory.h
memdebug.h
None of them include system headers, they all do funny #defines.

Fixes#743
When an upload is done, there are two places where that can be detected
and only one of them would rewind the input stream - which sometimes is
necessary for example when doing NTLM HTTP POSTs and more.
This could then end up libcurl hanging.

Fixes#741
Previously, when HTTP/2 is enabled and used, and stream has content
length known, Curl_read was not called when there was no bytes left to
read. Because of this, we could not make sure that
http2_handle_stream_close was called for every stream. Since we use
http2_handle_stream_close to emit trailer fields, they were
effectively ignored. This commit changes the code so that Curl_read is
called even if no bytes left to read, to ensure that
http2_handle_stream_close is called for every stream.
Discussed in https://github.com/bagder/curl/pull/564
Apparently there are sites out there that do redirects to URLs they
provide in plain UTF-8 or similar. Browsers and wget %-encode such
headers when doing a subsequent request. Now libcurl does too.
Added test 1138 to verify.

... and assign it from the set.fread_func_set pointer in the
Curl_init_CONNECT function. This A) avoids that we have code that
assigns fields in the 'set' struct (which we always knew was bad) and
more importantly B) it makes it impossibly to accidentally leave the
wrong value for when the handle is re-used etc.
Introducing a state-init functionality in multi.c, so that we can set a
specific function to get called when we enter a state. The
Curl_init_CONNECT is thus called when switching to the CONNECT state.

Currently, libcurl rejects responses with "Content-Encoding: compress"
when CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING is set to "". I think that libcurl should
treat the Content-Encoding "compress" the same as other
Content-Encodings that it does not support, e.g. "bzip2". That means
just ignoring it.
With many easy handles using the same connection for multiplexing, it is
important we store and keep the transfer-oriented stuff in the
SessionHandle so that callbacks and callback data work fine even when
many easy handles share the same physical connection.
.. also make __func__ replacement in multi.
Prior to this change debug builds would fail to build if the compiler
was building pre-c99 and didn't support __func__.
The factor of 8 is a bytes-to-bits conversion factor, but pkt_size and
rate_bps are both in bytes. When using the rate limiting option, curl
waits 8 times too long, and then transfers very quickly until the
average rate reaches the limit. The average rate follows the limit over
time, but the actual traffic is bursty.

This header file must be included after all header files except
memdebug.h, as it does similar memory function redefinitions and can be
similarly affected by conflicting definitions in system or dependent
library headers.
If the scratch buffer already existed when the CRLF conversion was
performed then the buffer pointer would be checked twice for NULL. This
second check is only necessary if the call to malloc() was performed by
the first check.
Whilst I had moved the dot stuffing code from being performed before
CRLF conversion takes place to after it, in commit 4bd860a001, I had
moved it outside the 'when something read' block of code when meant
it could perform the dot stuffing twice on partial send if nread
happened to contain the right values. It also meant the function could
potentially read past the end of buffer. This was highlighted by the
following warning:
warning: `nread' might be used uninitialized in this function
The previous condition that checked if the socket was marked as readable
when also adding a writable one, was incorrect and didn't take the pause
bits properly into account.
Basically since servers often then don't respond well to this and
instead send the full contents and then libcurl would instead error out
with the assumption that the server doesn't support resume. As the data
is then already transfered, this is now considered fine.
Test case 1434 added to verify this. Test case 1042 slightly modified.

... 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)
The method change is forbidden by the obsolete RFC2616, but libcurl did
it anyway for compatibility reasons. The new RFC7231 allows this
behaviour so there's no need for the scary "Violate RFC 2616/10.3.x"
notice. Also update the comments accordingly.
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.
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!
This makes the findprotocol() function work as intended so that libcurl
can properly be restricted to not support HTTP while still supporting
HTTPS - since the HTTPS handler previously set both the HTTP and HTTPS
bits in the protocol field.
This fixes --proto and --proto-redir for most SSL protocols.
This is done by adding a few new convenience defines that groups HTTP
and HTTPS, FTP and FTPS etc that should then be used when the code wants
to check for both protocols at once. PROTO_FAMILY_[protocol] style.

For HTTP/2, we may read up everything including responde body with
header fields in Curl_http_readwrite_headers. If no content-length is
provided, curl waits for the connection close, which we emulate it
using conn->proto.httpc.closed = TRUE. The thing is if we read
everything, then http2_recv won't be called and we cannot signal the
HTTP/2 stream has closed. As a workaround, we return nonzero from
data_pending to call http2_recv.
