When a full URL is set (parsed), the hostname component is stored URL
decoded (with default zero flags).
While perhaps surprising and inconsistent, the API has done this for
quite some time already and changigtn this now would break existing
behaviour.

Before, setting CURLOPT_SSLVERSION with wolfSSL restricted the the tls
proto to just the specified version. Now it properly supports a range.
So it can set the min and max tls proto (max requires wolfSSL 4.2.0).
Bump the absolute minimum required version of wolfSSL to 3.4.6 (released
2015) because it is needed for the wolfSSL_CTX_SetMinVersion() function.

When using `curl_ws_send()`, perform a blocking send of the data under
the following conditions:
- the websocket is in raw mode and the call is done from within a curl
callback. A partial write of the data could subsequently mess up the
ws framing, as a callback has a hard time handling this.
- the websocket is encoding the data itself, has added it to its
internal sendbuf. A partial flush of the buffer has unclear semantics
for the caller, as they will have no idea what to send again.

- Determine which connection cache is or will be used by the easy handle
and perform connection upkeep on that cache.
This change allows curl_easy_upkeep to be effective on easy handles that
are using a shared connection cache, either from a user created shared
connection cache or a user created multi which has its own shared
connection cache.
Prior to this change curl_easy_upkeep would upkeep the connection cache
for the easy handle only if that cache was from the multi owned by the
easy handle (ie curl_easy_perform was previously called and there's a
connection cache exclusive to the easy handle in
data->multi_easy->conn_cache).

- For HTTPS if http2-prior-knowledge is set then only offer h2 (HTTP/2)
alpn to the server for protocol negotiation.
Prior to this change both HTTP/2 ("h2") and HTTP/1.1 ("http/1.1") were
offered for ALPN when http2-prior-knowledge was set.
CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2_PRIOR_KNOWLEDGE (tool: --http2-prior-knowledge) is
meant to send non-TLS HTTP requests HTTP/2 when it is known the server
supports them. However when HTTPS is used then it attempts to first
negotiate the connection with ALPN. In that case the user likely does
not want to offer http/1.1 to the server as an acceptable protocol.

Closes#14031
When libcurl discards a connection there are two phases this may go
through: "shutdown" and "closing". If a connection is aborted, the
shutdown phase is skipped and it is closed right away.
The connection filters attached to the connection implement the phases
in their `do_shutdown()` and `do_close()` callbacks. Filters carry now a
`shutdown` flags next to `connected` to keep track of the shutdown
operation.
Filters are shut down from top to bottom. If a filter is not connected,
its shutdown is skipped. Notable filters that *do* something during
shutdown are HTTP/2 and TLS. HTTP/2 sends the GOAWAY frame. TLS sends
its close notify and expects to receive a close notify from the server.
As sends and receives may EAGAIN on the network, a shutdown is often not
successful right away and needs to poll the connection's socket(s). To
facilitate this, such connections are placed on a new shutdown list
inside the connection cache.
Since managing this list requires the cooperation of a multi handle,
only the connection cache belonging to a multi handle is used. If a
connection was in another cache when being discarded, it is removed
there and added to the multi's cache. If no multi handle is available at
that time, the connection is shutdown and closed in a one-time,
best-effort attempt.
When a multi handle is destroyed, all connection still on the shutdown
list are discarded with a final shutdown attempt and close. In curl
debug builds, the environment variable `CURL_GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN` can be
set to make this graceful with a timeout in milliseconds given by the
variable.
The shutdown list is limited to the max number of connections configured
for a multi cache. Set via CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS. When the
limit is reached, the oldest connection on the shutdown list is
discarded.
- In multi_wait() and multi_waitfds(), collect all connection caches
involved (each transfer might carry its own) into a temporary list.
Let each connection cache on the list contribute sockets and
POLLIN/OUT events it's connections are waiting for.
- in multi_perform() collect the connection caches the same way and let
them peform their maintenance. This will make another non-blocking
attempt to shutdown all connections on its shutdown list.
- for event based multis (multi->socket_cb set), add the sockets and
their poll events via the callback. When `multi_socket()` is invoked
for a socket not known by an active transfer, forward this to the
multi's cache for processing. On closing a connection, remove its
socket(s) via the callback.
TLS connection filters MUST NOT send close nofity messages in their
`do_close()` implementation. The reason is that a TLS close notify
signals a success. When a connection is aborted and skips its shutdown
phase, the server needs to see a missing close notify to detect
something has gone wrong.
A graceful shutdown of FTP's data connection is performed implicitly
before regarding the upload/download as complete and continuing on the
control connection. For FTP without TLS, there is just the socket close
happening. But with TLS, the sent/received close notify signals that the
transfer is complete and healthy. Servers like `vsftpd` verify that and
reject uploads without a TLS close notify.
- added test_19_* for shutdown related tests
- test_19_01 and test_19_02 test for TCP RST packets
which happen without a graceful shutdown and should
no longer appear otherwise.
- add test_19_03 for handling shutdowns by the server
- add test_19_04 for handling shutdowns by curl
- add test_19_05 for event based shutdowny by server
- add test_30_06/07 and test_31_06/07 for shutdown checks
on FTP up- and downloads.

Introduce new notation for CURLOPT_INTERFACE / --interface:
ifhost!<interface>!<host>
Binding to an interface doesn't set the address, and an interface can
have multiple addresses.
When binding to an address (without interface), the kernel is free to
choose the route, and it can route through any device that can access
the target address, not necessarily the one with the chosen address.
Moreover, it is possible for different interfaces to have the same IP
address, on which case we need to provide a way to be more specific.
Factor out the parsing part of interface option, and add unit tests:
1663.

Used for extracting:
- when used asking for a scheme, it will return CURLUE_NO_SCHEME if the
stored information was a guess
- when used asking for a URL, the URL is returned without a scheme, like
when previously given to the URL parser when it was asked to guess
- as soon as the scheme is set explicitly, it is no longer internally
marked as guessed
The idea being:
1. allow a user to figure out if a URL's scheme was set as a result of
guessing
2. extract the URL without a guessed scheme
3. this makes it work similar to how we already deal with port numbers
Extend test 1560 to verify.

- Clear data->state.os_errno before transfer.
- Explain the change in behavior in the CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO doc.
- Add to the CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO doc the list of libcurl network-related
errors that may cause the errno to be saved.
data->state.os_errno is saved before libcurl returns a network-related
failure such as connection failure. It is accessible to the user via
CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO so they can get more information about the failure.
Prior to this change it wasn't cleared before transfer, so if a user
retrieved the saved errno it could be from a previous transfer. That is
because an errno is not always saved for network-related errors.

- Call OPENSSL_thread_stop on thread termination (DLL_THREAD_DETACH)
to prevent a memory leak in case OpenSSL is linked statically.
- Warn in libcurl-thread.3 that if OpenSSL is linked statically then it
may require thread cleanup.
OpenSSL may need per-thread cleanup to stop a memory leak. For Windows
and Cygwin if libcurl was built as a DLL then we can do that for the
user by calling OPENSSL_thread_stop on thread termination. However, if
libcurl was built statically then we do not have notification of thread
termination and cannot do that for the user.
Also, there are several other unusual cases where it may be necessary
for the user to call OPENSSL_thread_stop, so in the libcurl-thread
warning I added a link to the OpenSSL documentation.

By default the API inhibits empty queries and fragments extracted.
Unless this new flag is set.
This also makes the behavior more consistent: without it set, zero

fact present in the URL.
This applies when extracting the individual query and fragment
components and for the full URL.
