Renamed several libcurl error codes and options to make them more general
and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
removed. In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
compatibility with the old names. These macros are subject to removal at
a future date, but probably not before 2009. An application can be
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.

Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)

Bug report #1779054 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779054) pointed
out that libcurl didn't deal with large responses from server commands, when
the single response was consisting of multiple lines but of a total size of
16KB or more. Dan Fandrich improved the ftp test script and provided test
case 1006 to repeat the problem, and I fixed the code to make sure this new
test case runs fine.

Bug report #1779054 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779054) pointed
out that libcurl didn't deal with very long (>16K) FTP server response lines
properly. Starting now, libcurl will chop them off (thus the client app will
not get the full line) but survive and deal with them fine otherwise. Test
case 1003 was added to verify this.

CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD as soon as possible.

Patrick Monnerat modified the LDAP code and approach in curl. Starting now,
the configure script checks for openldap and friends and we link with those
libs just like we link all other third party libraries, and we no longer
dlopen() those libraries. Our private header file lib/ldap.h was renamed to
lib/curl_ldap.h due to this. I set a tag in CVS (curl-7_17_0-preldapfix)
just before this commit, just in case.

Patrick Monnerat and I modified libcurl so that now it *copies* all strings
passed to it with curl_easy_setopt()! Previously it has always just refered
to the data, forcing the user to keep the data around until libcurl is done
with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given
strings and keep private copies.

Greg Morse reported a problem with POSTing using ANYAUTH to a server requiring
NTLM, and he provided test code and a test server and we worked out a bug
fix. We failed to count sent body data at times, which then caused internal
confusions when libcurl tried to send the rest of the data in order to
maintain the same connection alive.

Bug report #1759542 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1759542). A bad use
of a socket after it has been closed, when the FTP-SSL data connection is taken
down.

other platforms.
