With this check present, scan-build warns that we might dereference this
point in other places where it isn't first checked for NULL. Thus, if it
*can* be NULL we have a problem on a few places. However, this pointer
should not be possible to be NULL here so I remove the check and thus
also three different scan-build warnings.

Closes #2111

* LOTS of comment updates
* explicit error for SMB shares (e.g. "file:////share/path/file")
* more strict handling of authority (i.e. "//localhost/")
* now accepts dodgy old "C:|" drive letters
* more precise handling of drive letters in and out of Windows
  (especially recognising both "file:c:/" and "file:/c:/")

Closes #2109

The new API added in Linux 4.11 only requires setting a socket option
before connecting, without the whole sento() machinery.

Notably, this makes it possible to use TFO with SSL connections on Linux
as well, without the need to mess around with OpenSSL (or whatever other
SSL library) internals.

eg consider a non-existent interface eth8, curl --interface eth8

Before: curl: (45) Could not resolve host: eth8
After: curl: (45) Couldn't bind to 'eth8'

Host names like "127.0.0.1 moo" would otherwise be accepted by some
getaddrinfo() implementations.

Updated test 1034 and 1035 accordingly.

The previous fix https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1788 worked just for
Xcode 9. This commit extends the fix to older Xcode versions effectively
by not using connectx function.

Ensure HAVE_SETMODE is set to 1 on OSes that have setmode. Without this,
curl will corrupt binary files when writing them to stdout on Windows.

CID 984459, detected by Coverity

Update CMakeLists.txt to add curl.rc to the correct list.

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.
