FAQ: remove opinionated sentence on NTLM
...
curl is a tool that support many different things, and it doesn't
really seem like our job to tell other what to use (as they might
not have much say in the matter even). Also tidy up wording.

FAQ: Clarify Windows double quote usage
...
- Windows command prompt doesn't use literal quoting via single quotes.
- Windows command prompt inner double quotes are escaped with a
backslash.
- Windows powershell does use single quotes but curl is not a powershell
script so the arguments may not be passed on correctly.
- Windows powershell inner double quotes seems can be passed to curl if
the outer quotes are double quotes and an escape of backslash-backtick
is used.
Command prompt example:
~~~
getargs -v -d "\"a\""
argv[0]: getargs
argv[1]: -v
argv[2]: -d
argv[3]: "a"
~~~

vtls: initial implementation of rustls backend
...
This adds a new TLS backend, rustls. It uses the C-to-rustls bindings
from https://github.com/abetterinternet/crustls .
Rustls is at https://github.com/ctz/rustls/ .
There is still a fair bit to be done, like sending CloseNotify on
connection shutdown, respecting CAPATH, and properly indicating features
like "supports TLS 1.3 ciphersuites." But it works well enough to make
requests and receive responses.
