Roman Mamedov spotted (in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=670126) that curl would
not complain when given a URL with an IPv6 numerical address without
brackets. It would simply cut off the last ":[hex]" part and thus not
work correctly.
That's a URL using an illegal syntax and now libcurl will instead return
a clear error code and error message detailing the error.
The above mentioned bug report claims this to be a regression but
libcurl does not guarantee functionality when given URLs that aren't
following the URL spec (RFC3986 mostly). I consider the fact that it
used to handle this differently a mere coincidence.
When doing a chunked-encoded POST with -d (CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS) and the
size of the POST was zero length, it made libcurl first send a zero
chunk and then the terminating one. This could confuse a receiver and it
should rather just send the terminating chunk as it does with this fix.
Test case 1333 is added to verify.

Commit 9109cdec11 brought this regression (shipped since 7.24.0).
The singleipconnect() function must not return an error if Curl_socket()
returns an error. It should then simply return OK and pass a SOCKET_BAD
back simply because that is how the user of this function expects it to
work and something else is not fine.

Explicit conversion to 'long' of curl_easy_setopt() third argument for options
CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH and CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH given that this is how its bitmasks are
docummented to be used.
By comparing if a different "progress point" is reached or not since the
previous update, the progress function callback for this now avoids many
superfluous screen updates. This has the nice side-effect that it fixes
a problem that causes a second progress meter line.
The second line output happened because when we use the -# progress
meter, we force a newline output after the transfer in the main loop in
curl, but when libcurl calls the progress callback from
curl_easy_cleanup() it would then output the progress display
again. Possibly the naive newline output is wrong but this optimization
was suitable anyway...

Include stdbool.h only when it is available and configure is capable of
detecting a proper 'bool' data type when the header is included.
Compilation fix for old or unpatched versions of XL C compiler.

NSS_InitContext() was introduced in NSS 3.12.5 and helps to prevent
collisions on NSS initialization/shutdown with other libraries.
