- Claes Jakobsson fixed libcurl-NSS to build fine even without the
PK11_CreateGenericObject() function.

- Mike Crowe pointed out that setting CURLOPT_USERPWD to NULL used to clear
the auth credentials back in 7.19.0 and earlier while now you have to set ""
to get the same effect. His patch brings back the ability to use NULL.

- bug report #2796358 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2796358) pointed
out that the cookie parser would leak memory when it parses cookies that are
received with domain, path etc set multiple times in the same header. While
such a cookie is questionable, they occur in the wild and libcurl no longer
leaks memory for them. I added such a header to test case 8.

at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612#c12

If an incorrect password is given while loading a private key, libcurl ends
up in an infinite loop consuming memory. The bug is critical.

but since it didn't actually have that, it just hung there...

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2784055) identifying a problem to
connect to SOCKS proxies when using the multi interface. It turned out to
almost not work at all previously. We need to wait for the TCP connect to
be properly verified before doing the SOCKS magic.

There's still a flaw in the FTP code for this.

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2786255) with a patch, identifying how
libcurl did not deal with SSL session ids properly if the server rejected a
re-use of one. Starting now, it will forget the rejected one and remember
the new. This change was for OpenSSL only, it is likely that other SSL lib
code needs similar fixes.

- Based on bug report #2723219 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723219)
I've now made TFTP "connections" not being kept for re-use within libcurl.
TFTP is UDP-based so the benefit was really low (if even existing) to begin
with so instead of tracking down to fix this problem we instead removed the
re-use. I also enabled test case 1099 that I wrote a few days ago to verify
that this change fixes the reported problem.

confirmed that simply adding 32 to CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is enough.
