The read callback must return the exact requested amount of data when it
is used for doing TFTP uploads. This is due to how it deals with data
internally. This could/should be fixed but for now we document the
existing behavior.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-03/0319.html
When NSS-powered libcurl connected to a SSL server with
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER equal to zero, NSS remembered that the peer
certificate was accepted by libcurl and did not ask the second time when
connecting to the same server with CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER equal to one.
This patch turns off the SSL session cache for the particular SSL socket
if peer verification is disabled. In order to avoid any performance
impact, the peer verification is completely skipped in that case, which
makes it even faster than before.

... and update the curl.1 and curl_easy_setopt.3 man pages such that
they do not suggest to use an OpenSSL utility if curl is not built
against OpenSSL.

This is a meta symbol. OR this value together with a single specific
auth value to force libcurl to probe for un-restricted auth and if not,
only that single auth algorithm is acceptable.
For example you can use CURLAUTH_DIGEST|CURLAUTH_ONLY to make libcurl
first probe for what method to use, but yet only consider Digest to be
acceptable.
Using _only_ CURLAUTH_DIGEST without the CURLAUTH_ONLY field, will make
libcurl explicitly use Digest right away and not do any probing.
The numerical value passed to CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM for FTP uploads is
interpreted and used as position where to resume the _reading_ of the
local file and it will "blindly" append that data on the remote
file. This was certainly not clear in the docs previously.

In some places where the name 'stream' has been used for naming a
function argument that is in fact settable with a setopt() option we now
call that argument 'userdata' to make it more obvious that it is in fact
possible to set by the application.

properly in angle brackets. Recipients provided with CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT now
get angle bracket wrapping automatically by libcurl unless the recipient
starts with an angle bracket as then the app is assumed to deal with that
properly on its own.
command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is
a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server
seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support
it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also
usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server
that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
