http: centralize the accounting of libcurl dependencies

As discussed in 644de29e220 (http: drop support for curl < 7.19.4,
2021-07-30) checking against LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM isn't as reliable as
checking specific symbols present in curl, as some distros have been
known to backport features.

However, while some of the curl_easy_setopt() arguments we rely on are
macros, others are enum, and we can't assume that those that are
macros won't change into enums in the future.

So we're still going to have to check LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM, but by
doing that in one central place and using a macro definition of our
own, anyone who's backporting features can define it themselves, and
thus have access to more modern curl features that they backported,
even if they didn't bump the LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM.

More importantly, as shown in a preceding commit doing these version
checks makes for hard to read and possibly buggy code, as shown by the
bug fixed there where we were conflating base 10 for base 16 when
comparing the version.

By doing them all in one place we'll hopefully reduce the chances of
such future mistakes, furthermore it now becomes easier to see at a
glance what the oldest supported version is, which makes it easier to
reason about any future deprecation similar to the recent
e48a623dea0 (Merge branch 'ab/http-drop-old-curl', 2021-08-24).

+ * inform decisions about removing support for older libcurl in the
+ * future.
+ *
+ * The oldest supported version of curl is documented in the "INSTALL"
+ * document.
+ *
+ * The source of truth for what versions have which symbols is
+ * https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/docs/libcurl/symbols-in-versions;
+ * the release dates are taken from curl.git (at
+ * https://github.com/curl/curl/).
+ *
+ * For each X symbol we need from curl we define our own
+ * GIT_CURL_HAVE_X. If multiple similar symbols with the same prefix
+ * were defined in the same version we pick one and check for that name.
+ *
+ * Keep any symbols in date order of when their support was
+ * introduced, oldest first, in the official version of cURL library.
