Previously we required that -S/--show-error was used _after_
-s/--silent. This was slightly confusing since we strive to make
arguments as position independent as possible.

Now, you can use them in any order and the result should still be the
same.

Elaborate what max_fd == -1 means

Remove the reference to CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM as modern libcurl
versions don't ever return that.

When doing a multipart formpost with a read callback, and that callback
returns CURL_READFUNC_ABORT, that return code must be properly
propagated back and handled accordingly. Previously it would be handled
as a zero byte read which would cause a hang!

Added test case 587 to verify. It uses the lib554.c source code with a
small ifdef.

There might be situations where a user would want to unset this option.
Avoid forcing him/her to cast the NULL argument to (char *) in order to
get past the compile time typecheck.

Save the errno value immediately after a connect() failure so that it
won't get reset to something else before we read it.

Jerry Wu detected and provided detailed info about this issue.

When, for a given test, server is instructed to close connection after
server reply we now wait a very small amount of time (50ms) before doing
so. This is done to allow client to, at least partially, read server
reply before getting an ECONNRESET.

The above is required to make test cases 1070, 1200, 1201 and 1202 pass
with Cygwin 1.5.X on W2K.

GOPHER test server closes connection after _every_ server-reply, as such,
at some point it could require a bigger time or using shutdown() before
a server-side initiated disconnection.

Set ACK timeout to 5 seconds.

If we are waiting for block X and receive block Y that is the expected one, we
should send ACK and increase X (which is already implemented). Otherwise drop
the packet and don't increase retry counter.

Prevent modification of easy handle being added with curl_multi_add_handle()
unless this function actually suceeds.

Run Curl_posttransfer() to allow restoring of SIGPIPE handler when
Curl_connect() fails early in multi_runsingle().

Move the variable declaration to within the #ifdef

It makes much nicer and less convuluted code everywhere if this struct
member is always present even when libcurl is built without SSL support.
