netrc fix

                               History of Changes

- I fell onto a bug report on php.net that obiously was better directed to our

  project. Anyway, it said the .netrc parsing didn't work as supposed, and as

  I agreed I made the netrc parser use getpwuid() to figure out the home

  directory of the effective user and try that netrc. It still uses the

  environment variable HOME for those that don't have that function or if the

  user doesn't return valid pwd info.

- Edin Kadribaic posted a bug report where he got a crash when a fetch with

  user+password in the URL followed a Location: to a second URL (absolute,

  without name+password). This bug has been around for a long while and

  crashes due to a read at address zero. Fixed now. Wrote test case 38, that

  tests this.

- Modified the test suite's httpserver slightly to append all client request

  data to its log file so that the test script now better can verify a range

  of requests and not only the last one, as it did previously.

- Updated the curl man page with --random-file and --egd-file details.

Version 7.7-beta3
