Lists all SSL backends that were enabled at build-time.

Fixes #2128

Connections that are used for HTTP/1.1 Pipelining or HTTP/2 multiplexing
only get additional transfers added to them if the existing connection
is held by the same multi or easy handle. libcurl does not support doing
HTTP/2 streams in different threads using a shared connection.

This bit is no longer used. It is not clear what it meant for users to
"init the TLS" in a world with different TLS backends and since the
introduction of multissl, libcurl didn't properly work if inited without
this bit set.

Not a single user responded to the call for users of it:

... so that IPv6 addresses can be passed like they can for connect-to

Fixes #2087
Closes #2091

Closes #1455

The --interface command (CURLOPT_INTERFACE option) already uses
SO_BINDTODEVICE on Linux, but it tries to parse it as an interface or IP
address first, which fails in case the user passes a VRF.

Try to use the socket option immediately and parse it as a fallback
instead.  Update the documentation to mention this feature, and that it
requires the binary to be ran by root or with CAP_NET_RAW capabilities
for this to work.

Closes #2024

Closes #2043

... even when there's no socket to wait for, the timeout can still be
very short.

This uses the brotli external library (https://github.com/google/brotli).
Brotli becomes a feature: additional curl_version_info() bit and
structure fields are provided for it and CURLVERSION_NOW bumped.

Tests 314 and 315 check Brotli content unencoding with correct and
erroneous data.

Some tests are updated to accomodate with the now configuration dependent
parameters of the Accept-Encoding header.

This is implemented as an output streaming stack of unencoders, the last
calling the client write procedure.

New test 230 checks this feature.

Also upgrade test 1133 to cover this case and clarify man page about
