progress meter/bar changes

                               History of Changes

- I had avoided this long enough now, so I moved the alternative progress bar

  stuff from the lib and added it to the client code. This is now using the

  recently added progress callback and it seems to work pretty much like

  before. Since it is only one progress bar and you and download and upload at

  the same time, this bar shows the combined progress of both directions. This

  code was just ported from the old place to this, Lars is still our saviour!

  ;-) This also made the documentation more accurate since I never removed

  this function from any docs! Although I now removed the CURLOPT_PROGRESSMODE

  from the library since the lib has only one internal progress meter and it

  will never get another. It is although likely that the internal one also

  will be moved to the client code in the future (when I have other means of

  getting the writeout data and move that too to the client).

- I took the opportunity to verify that standard progress meter works and I

  found out it didn't get inited properly. Grrr. I corrected that as well.

- I thought I'd better verify that the -F option still works in v7 and of

  course it didn't... :-/ Anyway, I had the problems I could discover

  corrected. About one month of beta testing and not a single person has used

  this feature with v7?

- Björn correctly pointed out that the --progress-bar still doesn't work in

  v7. Hm.

- Tim Tassonis discovered that curl 7 didn't handle normal http POST as it

  should. I corrected this.
