Back in 2008, (and commit 3f3d6ebe665f3) we changed the logic in how we determine the native type for `curl_off_t`. To really make sure we didn't break ABI without bumping SONAME, we introduced logic that attempted to detect that it would use a different size and thus not be compatible. We also provided a manual switch that allowed users to tell configure to bump SONAME by force. Today, we know of no one who ever got a SONAME bump auto-detected and we don't know of anyone who's using the manual bump feature. The auto- detection is also no longer working since we introduced defining curl_off_t in system.h (7.55.0). Finally, this bumping logic is not present in the cmake build. Closes #1861
