- We mostly operate on transfers and not connections.
- We need the transfer handle to log, store data and more. Everything in
libcurl is driven by a transfer (the CURL * in the public API).
- This work clarifies and separates the transfers from the connections
better.
- We should avoid "conn->data". Since individual connections can be used
by many transfers when multiplexing, making sure that conn->data
points to the current and correct transfer at all times is difficult
and has been notoriously error-prone over the years. The goal is to
ultimately remove the conn->data pointer for this reason.

A regression made the code use 'multiplexed' as a boolean instead of the
counter it is intended to be. This made curl try to "over-populate"
connections with new streams.
This regression came with 41fcdf71a1, shipped in curl 7.65.0.
Also, respect the CURLMOPT_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS value in the same
check.

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
There were a leftover few prototypes of Curl_ functions that we used to
export but no longer do, this removes those prototypes and cleans up any
comments still referring to them.

Curl_concat_url(), Curl_detach_connnection(), Curl_http_setup_conn()
were made static in 05b100aee2.
Curl_http_perhapsrewind() made static in 574aecee20.
For the remainder, I didn't trawl the Git logs hard enough to capture
their exact time of deletion, but they were all gone: Curl_splayprint(),
Curl_http2_send_request(), Curl_global_host_cache_dtor(),
Curl_scan_cache_used(), Curl_hostcache_destroy(), Curl_second_connect(),
Curl_http_auth_stage() and Curl_close_connections().

As soon as a TLS backend gets ALPN conformation about the specific HTTP
version it can now set the multiplex situation for the "bundle" and
trigger moving potentially queued up transfers to the CONNECT state.
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).

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

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
Closes#3238
When a transfer is requested to get done and it is put in the pending
queue when limited by number of connections, total or per-host, libcurl
would previously very aggressively retry *ALL* pending transfers to get
them transferring. That was very time consuming.
By reducing the aggressiveness in how pending are being retried, we
waste MUCH less time on putting transfers back into pending again.
Some test cases got a factor 30(!) speed improvement with this change.

With the introduction of expire IDs and the fact that existing timers
can be removed now and thus never expire, the concept with adding a
"latest" timer is not working anymore as it risks to not expire at all.
So, to be certain the timers actually are in line and will expire, the
plain Curl_expire() needs to be used. The _latest() function was added
as a sort of shortcut in the past that's quite simply not necessary
anymore.

Previously, passing a timeout of zero to Curl_expire() was a magic code
for clearing all timeouts for the handle. That is now instead made with
the new Curl_expire_clear() function and thus a 0 timeout is fine to set
and will trigger a timeout ASAP.
This will help removing short delays, in particular notable when doing
HTTP/2.
to allow code to act differently on the situation.
Also added some more info message for the connection re-use function to
make it clearer when connections are not re-used.
When the connection code decides to close a socket it informs the multi
system via the Curl_multi_closed function. The multi system may, in
turn, invoke the CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION function with
CURL_POLL_REMOVE. This happens after the socket has already been
closed. Reorder the code so that CURL_POLL_REMOVE is called before the
socket is closed.
Introducing Curl_expire_latest(). To be used when we the code flow only
wants to get called at a later time that is "no later than X" so that
something can be checked (and another timeout be added).
The low-speed logic for example could easily be made to set very many
expire timeouts if it would be called faster or sooner than what it had
set its own timer and this goes for a few other timers too that aren't
explictiy checked for timer expiration in the code.
If there's no condition the code that says if(time-passed >= TIME), then
Curl_expire_latest() is preferred to Curl_expire().
If there exists such a condition, it is on the other hand important that
Curl_expire() is used and not the other.

With the recently added timeout "reminder" functionality, there's no
reason left for us to execute timeout code before the time is
ripe. Simplifies the handling too.
This will make the *TIMEOUT and *CONNECTTIMEOUT options more accurate
again, which probably is most important when the *_MS versions are used.
In multi_socket, make sure to update 'now' after having handled activity
on a socket.
Since all systems have inaccuracy in the timeout handling it is
imperative that we add an inaccuracy margin to the general timeout and
connecttimeout handling with the multi interface. This way, when the
timeout fires we should be fairly sure that it has passed the timeout
value and will be suitably detected.
For cases where the timeout fire before the actual timeout, we would
otherwise consume the timeout action and still not run the timeout code
since the condition wasn't met.

When waiting for a 100-continue response from the server, the
Curl_readwrite() will refuse to run if called until the timeout has been
reached.
We timeout code in multi_socket() allows code to run slightly before the
actual timeout time, so for test 154 it could lead to the function being
executed but refused in Curl_readwrite() and then the application would
just sit idling forever.
This was detected with runtests.pl -e on test 154.
As a remedy to the problem when a socket gets closed and a new one is
opened with the same file descriptor number and as a result
multi.c:singlesocket() doesn't detect the difference, the new function
Curl_multi_closed() gets told when a socket is closed so that it can be
removed from the socket hash. When the old one has been removed, a new
socket should be detected fine by the singlesocket() on next invoke.

By introducing an internal alternative to curl_multi_init() that accepts
parameters to set the hash sizes, easy handles will now use tiny socket
and connection hash tables since it will only ever add a single easy
handle to that multi handle.
This decreased the number mallocs in test 40 (which is a rather simple
and typical easy interface use case) from 1142 to 138. The maximum
amount of memory allocated used went down from 118969 to 78805.
Introducing a number of options to the multi interface that
allows for multiple pipelines to the same host, in order to
optimize the balance between the penalty for opening new
connections and the potential pipelining latency.
Two new options for limiting the number of connections:
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of running connections
to the same host. When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished, so we can reuse the connection.
CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of connections in total.
When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished. The free connection will then be reused, if possible, or
closed if the pending handle can't reuse it.
Several new options for pipelining:
CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH - Limits the pipeling length. If a
pipeline is "full" when a connection is to be reused, a new connection
will be opened if the CURLMOPT_MAX_xxx_CONNECTIONS limits allow it.
If not, the handle will be put in a pending state until a connection is
ready (either free or a pipe got shorter).
CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a transfer with a content
length that is larger than this.
CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a chunk larger than this.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SITE_BL - A blacklist of hosts that don't allow
pipelining.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL - A blacklist of server types that don't allow
pipelining.

Curl_expire() is now expanded to hold a list of timeouts for each easy
handle. Only the closest in time will be the one used as the primary
timeout for the handle and will be used for the splay tree (which sorts
and lists all handles within the multi handle).
When the main timeout has triggered/expired, the next timeout in time
that is kept in the list will be moved to the main timeout position and
used as the key to splay with. This way, all timeouts that are set with
Curl_expire() internally will end up as a proper timeout. Previously any
Curl_expire() that set a _later_ timeout than what was already set was
just silently ignored and thus missed.
Setting Curl_expire() with timeout 0 (zero) will cancel all previously
added timeouts.
Corrects known bug #62.
With the curl memory tracking feature decoupled from the debug build feature,
CURLDEBUG and DEBUGBUILD preprocessor symbol definitions are used as follows:
CURLDEBUG used for curl debug memory tracking specific code (--enable-curldebug)
DEBUGBUILD used for debug enabled specific code (--enable-debug)
would crash if a bad function sequence was used when shutting down after
using the multi interface (i.e using easy_cleanup after multi_cleanup) so
precautions have been added to make sure it doesn't any more - test case 529
was added to verify.
