* HTTPS proxies:
An HTTPS proxy receives all transactions over an SSL/TLS connection.
Once a secure connection with the proxy is established, the user agent
uses the proxy as usual, including sending CONNECT requests to instruct
the proxy to establish a [usually secure] TCP tunnel with an origin
server. HTTPS proxies protect nearly all aspects of user-proxy
communications as opposed to HTTP proxies that receive all requests
(including CONNECT requests) in vulnerable clear text.
With HTTPS proxies, it is possible to have two concurrent _nested_
SSL/TLS sessions: the "outer" one between the user agent and the proxy
and the "inner" one between the user agent and the origin server
(through the proxy). This change adds supports for such nested sessions
as well.
A secure connection with a proxy requires its own set of the usual SSL
options (their actual descriptions differ and need polishing, see TODO):
--proxy-cacert FILE CA certificate to verify peer against
--proxy-capath DIR CA directory to verify peer against
--proxy-cert CERT[:PASSWD] Client certificate file and password
--proxy-cert-type TYPE Certificate file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-ciphers LIST SSL ciphers to use
--proxy-crlfile FILE Get a CRL list in PEM format from the file
--proxy-insecure Allow connections to proxies with bad certs
--proxy-key KEY Private key file name
--proxy-key-type TYPE Private key file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-pass PASS Pass phrase for the private key
--proxy-ssl-allow-beast Allow security flaw to improve interop
--proxy-sslv2 Use SSLv2
--proxy-sslv3 Use SSLv3
--proxy-tlsv1 Use TLSv1
--proxy-tlsuser USER TLS username
--proxy-tlspassword STRING TLS password
--proxy-tlsauthtype STRING TLS authentication type (default SRP)
All --proxy-foo options are independent from their --foo counterparts,
except --proxy-crlfile which defaults to --crlfile and --proxy-capath
which defaults to --capath.
Curl now also supports %{proxy_ssl_verify_result} --write-out variable,
similar to the existing %{ssl_verify_result} variable.
Supported backends: OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and NSS.
* A SOCKS proxy + HTTP/HTTPS proxy combination:
If both --socks* and --proxy options are given, Curl first connects to
the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS
proxy.
TODO: Update documentation for the new APIs and --proxy-* options.
Look for "Added in 7.XXX" marks.
- Fix connection reuse for when the proposed new conn 'needle' has a
specified local port but does not have a specified device interface.

Visual C++ now complains about implicitly casting time_t (64-bit) to
long (32-bit). Fix this by changing some variables from long to time_t,
or explicitly casting to long where the public interface would be
affected.
Closes#1131
- In Curl_http2_switched don't call memcpy when src is NULL.
Curl_http2_switched can be called like:
Curl_http2_switched(conn, NULL, 0);
.. and prior to this change memcpy was then called like:
memcpy(dest, NULL, 0)
.. causing address sanitizer to warn:
http2.c:2057:3: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 2, which
is declared to never be null
Now Curl_rand() is made to fail if it cannot get the necessary random
level.
Changed the proto of Curl_rand() slightly to provide a number of ints at
once.
Moved out from vtls, since it isn't a TLS function and vtls provides
Curl_ssl_random() for this to use.

Previously, the [host] part was just ignored which made libcurl accept
strange URLs misleading users. like "file://etc/passwd" which might've
looked like it refers to "/etc/passwd" but is just "/passwd" since the
"etc" is an ignored host name.

- Fix GnuTLS code for CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2 that broke when the
TLS 1.3 support was added in 6ad3add.
- Homogenize across code for all backends the error message when TLS 1.3
is not available to "<backend>: TLS 1.3 is not yet supported".
- Return an error when a user-specified ssl version is unrecognized.
---
Prior to this change our code for some of the backends used the
'default' label in the switch statement (ie ver unrecognized) for
ssl.version and treated it the same as CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT.

We're mostly saying just "curl" in lower case these days so here's a big
cleanup to adapt to this reality. A few instances are left as the
project could still formally be considered called cURL.
- Call Curl_initinfo on init and duphandle.
Prior to this change the statistical and informational variables were
simply zeroed by calloc on easy init and duphandle. While zero is the
correct default value for almost all info variables, there is one where
it isn't (filetime initializes to -1).

As they are after all part of the public API. Saves space and reduces
complexity. Remove the strcase defines from the curlx_ family.

This should fix the "warning: 'curl_strequal' redeclared without
dllimport attribute: previous dllimport ignored" message and subsequent
link error on Windows because of the missing CURL_EXTERN on the
prototype.
These two public functions have been mentioned as deprecated since a
very long time but since they are still part of the API and ABI we need
to keep them around.
