Jason McDonald posted bug report #3006786 when he found that the
SFTP code didn't timeout properly in several places in the code
even if a timeout was set properly.

Based on his suggested patch, I wrote a different implementation
that I think addressed the issue better and also uses the connect
timeout for the initial part of the SSH/SFTP done during the
"protocol connect" phase.

Igor Novoseltsev reported a problem with the multi socket API and
using timeouts and timers. It boiled down to a problem with
libcurl's use of GetTickCount() interally to figure out the
current time, while Igor's own application code used another
function call.

It made his app call the socket API timeout function a bit
_before_ libcurl would consider the timeout to trigger, and that
could easily lead to timeouts or stalls in the app. It seems
GetTickCount() in general often has no better resolution than
16ms and switching to the alternative function
QueryPerformanceCounter has its share of problems:

We address this problem by simply having libcurl treat timers
that already has occured or will occur within 40ms subject for
treatment. I'm confident that there are other implementations and
operating systems with similarly in accurate timer functions so
it makes sense to have applied generically and I don't believe we
sacrifice much by adding a 40ms inaccuracy on these timeouts.

... and CURL_LLONG_MAX -> CURL_OFF_T_MAX

... when (CURL_SIZEOF_CURL_OFF_T == 4)

of course it also goes for the case where SSL is explicitly
disabled

These two items are now actually implemented:

11.1 Content-Disposition
11.5 ftp wildcard download

... and make it possible to do so without any user interaction
