Michael Kaufmann 53db15ba55 netrc: don't ignore the login name specified with "--user"
- for "--netrc", don't ignore the login/password specified with "--user",
  only ignore the login/password in the URL.
  This restores the netrc behaviour of curl 7.61.1 and earlier.
- fix the documentation of CURL_NETRC_REQUIRED
- improve the detection of login/password changes when reading .netrc
- don't read .netrc if both login and password are already set

Fixes #3213
Closes #3224

This option is similar to --netrc, except that you provide the path (absolute
or relative) to the netrc file that curl should use. You can only specify one
netrc file per invocation. If several --netrc-file options are provided,
the last one will be used.
It will abide by --netrc-optional if specified.
