and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
removed.  In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
compatibility with the old names.  These macros are subject to removal at
a future date, but probably not before 2009.  An application can be
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.

Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)

passed to it with curl_easy_setopt()! Previously it has always just refered
to the data, forcing the user to keep the data around until libcurl is done
with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given
strings and keep private copies.

case where libcurl did a connect attempt to a non-listening port and didn't
provide a human readable error string back.

  function that deprecates the curl_multi_socket() function. Using the new
  function the application tell libcurl what action that was found in the
  socket that it passes in. This gives a significant performance boost as it
  allows libcurl to avoid a call to poll()/select() for every call to
  curl_multi_socket*().

since they're already included through "setup.h".

Move definitions of TRUE and FALSE to setup_once.h

  and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names should hint, do the
  timeouts with millisecond resolution instead. The only restriction to that
  is the alarm() (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full
  seconds. I fixed the FTP response timeout part of the patch.

  Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also
  means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no
  timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which
  equals 24.86 days.  We probably couldn't before either since the code did
  *1000 on the timeout values on several places already.

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1481217), with follow-ups by Michele Bini
and David Byron. libcurl previously wrongly used GetLastError() on windows to
get error details after socket-related function calls, when it really should
use WSAGetLastError() instead.

When changing to this, the former function Curl_ourerrno() is now instead
called Curl_sockerrno() as it is necessary to only use it to get errno from
socket-related functions as otherwise it won't work as intended on Windows.
