follow redirect: ignore response-body on redirect even if compressed

Sebastian V reported bug #3000056 identifying a problem with
redirect following. It showed that when curl followed redirects
it didn't properly ignore the response body of the 30X response
if that response was using compressed Content-Encoding!

multi interface: missed storing connection time

Dirk Manske reported a regression. When connecting with the multi
interface, there were situations where libcurl wouldn't store
connect time correctly as it used to (and is documented to) do.

Using his fine sample program we could repeat it, and I wrote up
test case 573 using that code. The problem does not easily show
itself using the local test suite though.

The fix, also as suggested by Dirk, is a bit on the ugly side as
it adds yet another call to Curl_verboseconnect() and setting the
TIMER_CONNECT time. That situation is subject for some closer
inspection in the future.

Matt Wixson found and fixed a bug in the SCP/SFTP area where the
