examples: remove recursive calls to curl_multi_socket_action

From within the timer callbacks. Recursive is problematic for several
reasons. They should still work, but this way the examples and the
documentation becomes simpler. I don't think we need to encourage
recursive calls.

Discussed in #3537
Closes #3601

Your callback function \fBtimer_callback\fP should install a non-repeating
timer with an interval of \fBtimeout_ms\fP. Each time that timer fires, call
timer with an interval of \fBtimeout_ms\fP. When time that timer fires, call
either \fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP or \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP,
depending on which interface you use.
A \fBtimeout_ms\fP value of -1 means you should delete your timer.
A \fBtimeout_ms\fP value of -1 passed to this callback means you should delete
the timer. All other values are valid expire times in number of milliseconds.
A \fBtimeout_ms\fP value of 0 means you should call
\fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP or \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP (once) as soon
as possible.
\fBtimer_callback\fP will only be called when the \fBtimeout_ms\fP changes.
The \fBtimer_callback\fP will only be called when the timeout expire time is

The \fBuserp\fP pointer is set with \fICURLMOPT_TIMERDATA(3)\fP.
