all curl's tests generated configuration and key files are fine, a real
connection is established to the test harness sftp server authenticating
and running a simple sftp remote pwd command.

The verification is done using OpenSSH's or SunSSH's sftp client tool with
a configuration file with the same options as the test harness socks server
with the exception that dynamic forwarding is not used for sftp.

instead of downloading it from the curl site

creates a suitable ca-bundle.crt file in PEM format for use with curl. The
recommended way to run it is to use 'make ca-bundle' in the build tree root.

it works the same way for configure-based platforms as for non-configure ones

for now this does rename the existing ca-bundle.crt to ca-bundle.crt.old;
maybe we can remove this once we are 100% sure that the new script works properly, and just overwrite the shipping one?

added a switch to display certdata.txt version header.

  them all use the same (hopefully correct) logic to make it less error-prone
  and easier to introduce library-wide where it should be used.

ca-bundle.crt file as outdated and in need for replacement by anyone who wants
to verify modern peers as the one we have is from year 2000!

Improve handling of boundary conditions for huge requests.

  the SingleRequest one to make pipelining better. It is a bit tricky to keep
