This commit adds curl_multi_wakeup() which was previously in the TODO
list under the curl_multi_unblock name.
On some platforms and with some configurations this feature might not be
available or can fail, in these cases a new error code
(CURLM_WAKEUP_FAILURE) is returned from curl_multi_wakeup().
Fixes#4418Closes#4608
Starting with this change when doing parallel transfers, without this
option set, curl will prefer to create new transfers multiplexed on an
existing connection rather than creating a brand new one.
--parallel-immediate can be set to tell curl to prefer to use new
connections rather than to wait and try to multiplex.
libcurl-wise, this means that curl will set CURLOPT_PIPEWAIT by default
on parallel transfers.

The disable-scan script used in test 1165 is extended to also verify
that the docs cover all used defines and all defines offered by
configure.

With the `isdigit` implementation that comes with MSYS2, the argument
is used as an array subscript, resulting in a -Wchar-subscripts
warning. `isdigit`'s behavior is undefined if the argument is negative
and not EOF [0]. As done in lib/curl_ctype.h, cast the `char` variable
to `unsigned char` to avoid that.

Prior to this change some users did not understand that the "request"
starts when the handle is added to the multi handle, or probably they
did not understand that some of those transfers may be queued and that
time is included in timeout.

... just say that limiting operations risk aborting otherwise fine
working transfers. If that means seconds, minutes or hours, we leave to
the user.

Closes#4469
CURLU_NO_AUTHORITY is intended for use with unknown schemes (i.e. not
"file:///") to override cURL's default demand that an authority exists.
