As of curl 7.66.0, we don't need to manually specify a "chunked"
Transfer-Encoding header. Instead, modern curl deduces the need for it
in a POST that has a POSTFIELDSIZE of -1 and uses READFUNCTION rather
than POSTFIELDS.
That version is recent enough that we can't just drop the header; we
need to do so conditionally. Since it's only a single line, it seems
like the simplest thing would just be to keep setting it unconditionally
(after all, the #ifdefs are much longer than the actual code). But
there's another wrinkle: HTTP/2.
Curl may choose to use HTTP/2 under the hood if the server supports it.
And in that protocol, we do not use the chunked encoding for streaming
at all. Most versions of curl handle this just fine by recognizing and
removing the header. But there's a regression in curl 8.7.0 and 8.7.1
where it doesn't, and large requests over HTTP/2 are broken (which t5559
notices). That regression has since been fixed upstream, but not yet
released.
Make the setting of this header conditional, which will let Git work
even with those buggy curl versions. And as a bonus, it serves as a
reminder that we can eventually clean up the code as we bump the
supported curl versions.

The CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS (and matching CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS) flag was
deprecated in curl 7.85.0, and using it generate compiler warnings as of
curl 7.87.0. The path forward is to use CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_STR, but we
can't just do so unilaterally, as it was only introduced less than a
year ago in 7.85.0.
Until that version becomes ubiquitous, we have to either disable the
deprecation warning or conditionally use the "STR" variant on newer
versions of libcurl. This patch switches to the new variant, which is
nice for two reasons:
- we don't have to worry that silencing curl's deprecation warnings
might cause us to miss other more useful ones
- we'd eventually want to move to the new variant anyway, so this gets
us set up (albeit with some extra ugly boilerplate for the
conditional)
There are a lot of ways to split up the two cases. One way would be to
abstract the storage type (strbuf versus a long), how to append
(strbuf_addstr vs bitwise OR), how to initialize, which CURLOPT to use,
and so on. But the resulting code looks pretty magical:
GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_TYPE allowed = GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_TYPE_INIT;
if (...http is allowed...)
GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_APPEND(&allowed, "http", CURLOPT_HTTP);
and you end up with more "#define GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_TYPE" macros than
actual code.
On the other end of the spectrum, we could just implement two separate
functions, one that handles a string list and one that handles bits. But
then we end up repeating our list of protocols (http, https, ftp, ftp).
This patch takes the middle ground. The run-time code is always there to
handle both types, and we just choose which one to feed to curl.

Change the error shown when a http.pinnedPubKey doesn't match to point
the http.pinnedPubKey variable added in aeff8a6121 (http: implement
public key pinning, 2016-02-15), e.g.:
git -c http.pinnedPubKey=sha256/someNonMatchingKey ls-remote https://github.com/git/git.git
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/git/git.git/' with http.pinnedPubkey configuration: SSL: public key does not match pinned public key!
Before this we'd emit the exact same thing without the " with
http.pinnedPubkey configuration". The advantage of doing this is that
we're going to get a translated message (everything after the ":" is
hardcoded in English in libcurl), and we've got a reference to the
git-specific configuration variable that's causing the error.
Unfortunately we can't test this easily, as there are no tests that
require https:// in the test suite, and t/lib-httpd.sh doesn't know
how to set up such tests. See [1] for the start of a discussion about
what it would take to have divergent "t/lib-httpd/apache.conf" test
setups. #leftoverbits

Use the new git-curl-compat.h header to define CURL_SOCKOPT_OK to its
known value if we're on an older curl version that doesn't have it. It
was hardcoded in http.c in a15d069a19 (http: enable keepalive on TCP
sockets, 2013-10-12).

As discussed in 644de29e22 (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
e48a623dea (Merge branch 'ab/http-drop-old-curl', 2021-08-24).
