Jay Satiro 54e7475016 schannel: Disable auto credentials; add an option to enable it
- Disable auto credentials by default. This is a breaking change
  for clients that are using it, wittingly or not.

- New libcurl ssl option value CURLSSLOPT_AUTO_CLIENT_CERT tells libcurl
  to automatically locate and use a client certificate for
  authentication, when requested by the server.

- New curl tool options --ssl-auto-client-cert and
  --proxy-ssl-auto-client-cert map to CURLSSLOPT_AUTO_CLIENT_CERT.

This option is only supported for Schannel (the native Windows SSL
library). Prior to this change Schannel would, with no notification to
the client, attempt to locate a client certificate and send it to the
server, when requested by the server. Since the server can request any
certificate that supports client authentication in the OS certificate
store it could be a privacy violation and unexpected.

PACKAGES

 This directory and all its subdirectories are for special package
information, template, scripts and docs. The files herein should be of use for
those of you who want to package curl in a binary or source format using one
of those custom formats.

 The hierarchy for these directories is something like this:

   packages/[OS]/[FORMAT]/

 Currently, we have Win32 and Linux for [OS]. There might be different formats
for the same OS so for Linux we have RPM as format.

 We might need to add some differentiation for CPU as well, as there is
Linux-RPMs for several CPUs. However, it might not be necessary since the
packaging should be pretty much the same no matter what CPU that is used.

 For each unique OS-FORMAT pair, there's a directory to "fill"! I'd like to
see a single README with as much details as possible, and then I'd like some
template files for the package process.
