KNOWN_BUGS: remove five FTP related issues
- "FTP with CONNECT and slow server"

I believe this is not a problem these days.

- "FTP with NULs in URL parts"

The FTP protocol does not support them properly anyway.

- remove "FTP and empty path parts in the URL"

I don't think this has ever been reported as a real problem but was only
a hypothetical one.

- "Premature transfer end but healthy control channel"

This is not a bug, this is an optimization that *could* be performed but is
not an actual problem.

- "FTP without or slow 220 response"

Instead add to the documentation of the connect timeout that the
connection is considered complete at TCP/TLS/QUIC layer.

---
Maximum time in seconds that you allow curl's connection to take. This only
limits the connection phase, so if curl connects within the given period it
will continue - if not it will exit. Since version 7.32.0, this option
accepts decimal values.
The "connection phase" is considered complete when the requested TCP, TLS or
QUIC handshakes are done.
The decimal value needs to provided using a dot (.) as decimal separator - not
the local version even if it might be using another separator.
