A common set of functions instead of many separate implementations for
creating buffers that can grow when appending data to them. Existing
functionality has been ported over.
In my early basic testing, the total number of allocations seem at
roughly the same amount as before, possibly a few less.
See docs/DYNBUF.md for a description of the API.

In libcurl, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET is used to avoid writing to the
output file if the server did not transfered a file based on time
condition. In the same manner, getting a 304 HTTP response back from the
server, for example after passing a custom If-Match-* header, also
fulfill this condition.

Previously it rendered the page from files matching "*.d" in the correct
directory, which worked fine in git builds when the files were added but
made it easy to forget adding the files to the dist.
Now, only man page sections listed in DPAGES in Makefile.inc will be
used, thus "forcing" us to update this to get the man page right and get
it included in the dist at the same time.

- Implement new option CURLSSLOPT_REVOKE_BEST_EFFORT and
--ssl-revoke-best-effort to allow a "best effort" revocation check.
A best effort revocation check ignores errors that the revocation check
was unable to take place. The reasoning is described in detail below and
discussed further in the PR.
---
When running e.g. with Fiddler, the schannel backend fails with an
unhelpful error message:
Unknown error (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable
to check revocation for the certificate.
Sadly, many enterprise users who are stuck behind MITM proxies suffer
the very same problem.
This has been discussed in plenty of issues:
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/3727,
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/264, for example.
In the latter, a Microsoft Edge developer even made the case that the
common behavior is to ignore issues when a certificate has no recorded
distribution point for revocation lists, or when the server is offline.
This is also known as "best effort" strategy and addresses the Fiddler
issue.
Unfortunately, this strategy was not chosen as the default for schannel
(and is therefore a backend-specific behavior: OpenSSL seems to happily
ignore the offline servers and missing distribution points).
To maintain backward-compatibility, we therefore add a new flag
(`CURLSSLOPT_REVOKE_BEST_EFFORT`) and a new option
(`--ssl-revoke-best-effort`) to select the new behavior.
Due to the many related issues Git for Windows and GitHub Desktop, the
plan is to make this behavior the default in these software packages.
The test 2070 was added to verify this behavior, adapted from 310.

For compatibility with `fwrite`, the `CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION` callback
is passed two `size_t` parameters which, when multiplied, designate the
number of bytes of data passed in. In practice, CURL always sets the
first parameter (`size`) to 1.
This practice is also enshrined in documentation and cannot be changed
in future. The documentation states that the default callback is
`fwrite`, which means `fwrite` must be a suitable function for this
purpose. However, the documentation also states that the callback must
return the number of *bytes* it successfully handled, whereas ISO C
`fwrite` returns the number of items (each of size `size`) which it
wrote. The only way these numbers can be equal is if `size` is 1.
Since `size` is 1 and can never be changed in future anyway, document
that fact explicitly and let users rely on it.

Starting with this change when doing parallel transfers, without this
option set, curl will prefer to create new transfers multiplexed on an
existing connection rather than creating a brand new one.
--parallel-immediate can be set to tell curl to prefer to use new
connections rather than to wait and try to multiplex.
libcurl-wise, this means that curl will set CURLOPT_PIPEWAIT by default
on parallel transfers.

Repeatedly we see problems where using curl_multi_wait() is difficult or
just awkward because if it has no file descriptor to wait for
internally, it returns immediately and leaves it to the caller to wait
for a small amount of time in order to avoid occasional busy-looping.
This is often missed or misunderstood, leading to underperforming
applications.
This change introduces curl_multi_poll() as a replacement drop-in
function that accepts the exact same set of arguments. This function
works identically to curl_multi_wait() - EXCEPT - for the case when
there's nothing to wait for internally, as then this function will by
itself wait for a "suitable" short time before it returns. This
effectiely avoids all risks of busy-looping and should also make it less
likely that apps "over-wait".
This also changes the curl tool to use this funtion internally when
doing parallel transfers and changes curl_easy_perform() to use it
internally.
