CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME. This is set with the "application layer"
handshake/connection is completed (typically SSL, TLS or SSH). By using this
you can figure out the application layer's own connect time. You can extract
the time stamp using curl's -w option and the new variable named
'time_appconnect'. This feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.

INTEGRITY RTOS, so I renamed it to create_conn. It then made sense to also
rename SetupConnection to setup_conn to match it.

  not posix or anything and thus c-ares failed to build on hurd (and possibly
  elsewhere). The define was also somewhat artificially used in the windows
  port. Now, I instead rewrote the use of gethostbyname to enlarge the host
  name buffer in case of need and totally avoid the use of the MAXHOSTNAMELEN
  define. I thus also removed the defien from the namser.h file where it was
  once added for the windows build.

some systems" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1999181). The problem was
that the configure script did not use the _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK feature test
macro when checking monotonic clock availability. This is now fixed and the
monotonic clock will not be used unless the feature test macro is defined
with a value greater than zero indicating always supported.

Fixed a file handle leak in the command line client if more than one
--stderr option was given.

  verify.

enough at detecting compilation errors or at least it has been properly
configured to do so. Configuration heavily depends on this capability, so
if this compiler sanity check fails the configuration process will now fail.

  handshake with a SSLv2 server, and it turned out to be because it didn't
  recognize the cipher named "rc4-md5". In our list that cipher was named
  plainly "rc4". I've now added rc4-md5 to work as an alias as Phil reported
  that it made things work for him again.

  crashed libcurl. This is now addressed by making sure we use "plain send"
  internally when doing the socks handshake instead of the Curl_write()
  function which is designed to use the "target" protocol. That's then SCP or
  SFTP in this case. I also took the opportunity and cleaned up some ssh-
  related #ifdefs in the code for readability.

  libcurl to not tell the app properly when a socket was closed (when the name
  resolve done by c-ares is done) and then immediately re-created and put to
  use again (for the actual connection). Since the closure will make the
  "watch status" get lost in several event-based systems libcurl will need to
  tell the app about this close/re-create case.

  multi interface with pipelining enabled as it would wrongly check for,

we use the NUM_OF_CIPHERS define instead to figure out the amount.
