The required low-level logic was already available as part of
`libssh2` (via `LIBSSH2_FLAG_COMPRESS` `libssh2_session_flag()`[1]
option.)
This patch adds the new `libcurl` option `CURLOPT_SSH_COMPRESSION`
(boolean) and the new `curl` command-line option `--compressed-ssh`
to request this `libssh2` feature. To have compression enabled, it
is required that the SSH server supports a (zlib) compatible
compression method and that `libssh2` was built with `zlib` support
enabled.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1735
Update the progress timers `t_nslookup`, `t_connect`, `t_appconnect`,
`t_pretransfer`, and `t_starttransfer` to track the total times for
these activities when a redirect is followed. Previously, only the times
for the most recent request would be tracked.
Related changes:
- Rename `Curl_pgrsResetTimesSizes` to `Curl_pgrsResetTransferSizes`
now that the function only resets transfer sizes and no longer
modifies any of the progress timers.
- Add a bool to the `Progress` struct that is used to prevent
double-counting `t_starttransfer` times.
Added test case 1399.

Commit curl-7_54_0-118-g8b2f22e changed the output format of curl --help
to use <file> and <dir> instead of FILE and DIR, which caused zsh.pl to
produce a broken completion script:
% curl --<TAB>
_curl:10: no such file or directory: seconds
Closes#1779
If libcurl was built with GSS-API support, it unconditionally advertised
GSS-API authentication while connecting to a SOCKS5 proxy. This caused
problems in environments with improperly configured Kerberos: a stock
libcurl failed to connect, despite libcurl built without GSS-API
connected fine using username and password.
This commit introduces the CURLOPT_SOCKS5_AUTH option to control the
allowed methods for SOCKS5 authentication at run time.
Note that a new option was preferred over reusing CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH
for compatibility reasons because the set of authentication methods
allowed by default was different for HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies.

... to enable sending "OPTIONS *" which wasn't possible previously.
This option currently only works for HTTP.
Added test cases 1298 + 1299 to verify
Fixes#1280Closes#1462
This change introduces new alternatives for the existing six
curl_easy_getinfo() options that return sizes or speeds as doubles. The
new versions are named like the old ones but with an appended '_T':
CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD_T
CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD_T
CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD_T
CURLINFO_SIZE_UPLOAD_T
CURLINFO_SPEED_DOWNLOAD_T
CURLINFO_SPEED_UPLOAD_T

... unless "--output -" is used. Binary detection is done by simply
checking for a binary zero in early data.
Added test 1425 1426 to verify.
Closes#1512
