The man page taken from the release package is found in a different
location than if it's built from source. It must be referenced as $< in
the rule to get its correct location in the VPATH.

This eliminates the need for an external gzip program, which wasn't
working with Busybox's gzip, anyway. It now compresses using perl's
IO::Compress::Gzip

...due to the newly added CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_* functionality

Verified with OpenSSL 1.1.0e and OpenSSL master (1.1.1)

This commit introduces the CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_* constants as well as
the --tls-max option of the curl tool.

maketgz now runs scripts/updatemanpages.pl to update the man pages .TH
section to use the current date and curl/libcurl version.

(TODO Section 3.1)

Closes #1058

Ignore man page dist files generated by scripts/updatemanpages.pl

Added script to update man pages to use the current date and
curl/libcurl versions.

updatemanpages.pl has three arrays: list of directories to look in,
list of extensions to process, list of files to exclude from
processing.

Check man page in git repoistory using the date from the existing man
page before updating to avoid updating the man page if no change is
made.

If data is received from the git command then update the man page with
the current date and version otherwise leave alone.

Applied patch from badger to make the date argument optional, change the
git command used, added date argument to processfile subroutine and
print to STDERR if no date is found in a man page.

Added code to process the changed man page into a new man page with
.dist added to the filename to keep the original source files unchanged.
Updated POD documentation to reflect that the date argument optional.

Code style is in line with CODE_STYLE.md.

Directo...

This fixes assertion error which occurs when redirect is done with 0
length body via HTTP/2, and the easy handle is reused, but new
connection is established due to hostname change:

    curl: http2.c:1572: ssize_t http2_recv(struct connectdata *,
      int, char *, size_t, CURLcode *):
    Assertion `httpc->drain_total >= data->state.drain' failed.

To fix this bug, ensure that http2_handle_stream is called.

Fixes #1286
Closes #1302

... because it causes confusion with users. Example URLs:

"http://[127.0.0.1]:11211:80" which a lot of languages' URL parsers will
parse and claim uses port number 80, while libcurl would use port number
11211.

"http://user@example.com:80@localhost" which by the WHATWG URL spec will
be treated to contain user name 'user@example.com' but according to
RFC3986 is user name 'user' for the host 'example.com' and then port 80
is followed by "@localhost"

Both these formats are now rejected, and verified so in test 1260.

Prior to this change if you attempted to configure curl using
--wtih-zlib and specified a path the path would be ignored if you also
had pkg-config installed on your system.  This situation can easily
arise when you are cross compiling.  This change moves the test for
detecting zlib settings via pkg-config only if OPT_ZLIB is not set.
