* 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.
... to make it less likely that we forget that the function actually
does case insentive compares. Also replaced several invokes of the
function with a plain strcmp when case sensitivity is not an issue (like
comparing with "-").
curl_printf.h defines printf to curl_mprintf, etc. This can cause
problems with external headers which may use
__attribute__((format(printf, ...))) markers etc.
To avoid that they cause problems with system includes, we include
curl_printf.h after any system headers. That makes the three last
headers to always be, and we keep them in this order:
curl_printf.h
curl_memory.h
memdebug.h
None of them include system headers, they all do funny #defines.

Fixes#743
- In Curl_verifyhost check all altnames in the certificate.
Prior to this change only the first altname was checked. Only the GSKit
SSL backend was affected by this bug.

They tend to never get updated anyway so they're frequently inaccurate
and we never go back to revisit them anyway. We document issues to work
on properly in KNOWN_BUGS and TODO instead.
The key length in bits will always fit in an unsigned long so the
loss-of-data warning assigning the result of x64 pointer arithmetic to
an unsigned long is unnecessary.
CID 1202732 warns on the previous use, although I cannot fine any
problems with it. I'm doing this change only to make the code use a more
familiar approach to accomplish the same thing.
The function "free" is documented in the way that no action shall occur for
a passed null pointer. It is therefore not needed that a function caller
repeats a corresponding check.

This issue was fixed by using the software Coccinelle 1.0.0-rc24.

... for the local variable name in functions holding the return
code. Using the same name universally makes code easier to read and
follow.
Also, unify code for checking for CURLcode errors with:
if(result) or if(!result)
instead of
if(result == CURLE_OK), if(CURLE_OK == result) or if(result != CURLE_OK)
