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.
Closes#4163
- In curl_easy_reset attempt to resize the receive buffer to its default
size. If realloc fails then continue using the previous size.
Prior to this change curl_easy_reset did not properly handle resetting
the receive buffer (data->state.buffer). It reset the variable holding
its size (data->set.buffer_size) to the default size (READBUFFER_SIZE)
but then did not actually resize the buffer. If a user resized the
buffer by using CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE to set the size smaller than the
default, later called curl_easy_reset and attempted to reuse the handle
then a heap overflow would very likely occur during that handle's next
transfer.

- Change the behavior of win32_init so that the required initialization
procedures are not affected by CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 flag.
libcurl via curl_global_init supports initializing for win32 with an
optional flag CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32, which if omitted was meant to stop
Winsock initialization. It did so internally by skipping win32_init()
when that flag was set. Since then win32_init() has been expanded to
include required initialization routines that are separate from
Winsock and therefore must be called in all cases. This commit fixes
it so that CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 only controls the optional win32
initialization (which is Winsock initialization, according to our doc).
The only users affected by this change are those that don't pass
CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 to curl_global_init. For them this commit removes the
risk of a potential crash.

We use "conn" everywhere to be a pointer to the connection.
Introduces two functions that "attaches" and "detaches" the connection
to and from the transfer.
Going forward, we should favour using "data->conn" (since a transfer
always only has a single connection or none at all) to "conn->data"
(since a connection can have none, one or many transfers associated with
it and updating conn->data to be correct is error prone and a frequent
reason for internal issues).
Closes#3442
curl_multi_wait() was erroneously used from within
curl_easy_perform(). It could lead to it believing there was no socket
to wait for and then instead sleep for a while instead of monitoring the
socket and then miss acting on that activity as swiftly as it should
(causing an up to 1000 ms delay).

When using c-ares for asyn dns, the dns socket fd was silently closed
by c-ares without curl being aware. curl would then 'realize' the fd
has been removed at next call of Curl_resolver_getsock, and only then
notify the CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION to remove fd from its poll set with
CURL_POLL_REMOVE. At this point the fd is already closed.
By using ares socket state callback (ARES_OPT_SOCK_STATE_CB), this
patch allows curl to be notified that the fd is not longer needed
for neither for write nor read. At this point by calling
Curl_multi_closed we are able to notify multi with CURL_POLL_REMOVE
before the fd is actually closed by ares.
In asyn-ares.c Curl_resolver_duphandle we can't use ares_dup anymore
since it does not allow passing a different sock_state_cb_data

Especially unpausing a transfer might have to move the socket back to the

A mime tree attached to an easy handle using CURLOPT_MIMEPOST is
strongly bound to the handle: there is a pointer to the easy handle in
each item of the mime tree and following the parent pointer list
of mime items ends in a dummy part stored within the handle.
Because of this binding, a mime tree cannot be shared between different
easy handles, thus it needs to be cloned upon easy handle duplication.
There is no way for the caller to get the duplicated mime tree
handle: it is then set to be automatically destroyed upon freeing the
new easy handle.
New test 654 checks proper mime structure duplication/release.
Add a warning note in curl_mime_data_cb() documentation about sharing
user data between duplicated handles.

Move curl_mime_initpart() and curl_mime_cleanpart() calls to lower-level
