When doing CONNECT requests, libcurl must make sure the connection is
alive as much as possible. NTLM requires it and it is generally good for
other cases as well.
NTLM over CONNECT requests has been broken since this regression I
introduced in my CONNECT cleanup commits that started with 41b0237834,
included since 7.25.0.

Reported by: Marcel Raad
The refactoring of HTTP CONNECT handling in commit 41b0237834 that
made it protocol independent broke it for the multi interface. This fix
now introduce a better state handling and moved some logic to the
http_proxy.c source file.

Commit 466150bc64 fixed the Host: header with CONNECT, but I then
forgot the preceeding request-line. Now this too uses [brackets]
properly if a ipv6 numerical address was given.

When the target host was given as a IPv6 numerical address, it was not
properly put within square brackets for the Host: header in the CONNECT
request. The "normal" request did fine.

Introduced the initial setup to allow closesocket callbacks by making
sure sclose() is only ever called from one place in the libcurl source
and still run all test cases fine.
The new http_proxy.* files now host HTTP proxy specific code (500+ lines
moved out from http.c), and as a consequence there is a macro introduced
for the Curl_proxyCONNECT() function so that code can use it without
actually supporting proxy (or HTTP) in builds.
