tool: add "variable" support
Add support for command line variables. Set variables with --variable
name=content or --variable name@file (where "file" can be stdin if set
to a single dash (-)).

Variable content is expanded in option parameters using "{{name}}"
(without the quotes) if the option name is prefixed with
"--expand-". This gets the contents of the variable "name" inserted, or
a blank if the name does not exist as a variable. Insert "{{" verbatim
in the string by prefixing it with a backslash, like "\\{{".

Import an environment variable with --variable %name. It makes curl exit
with an error if the environment variable is not set. It can also rather
get a default value if the variable does not exist, using =content or
@file like shown above.

Example: get the USER environment variable into the URL:

 --variable %USER
 --expand-url = "https://example.com/api/{{USER}}/method"

When expanding variables, curl supports a set of functions that can make
the variable contents more convenient to use. It can trim leading and
trailing white space with "trim", output the contents as a JSON quoted
string with "json", URL encode it with "url" and base 64 encode it with
"b64". To apply functions to a variable expansion, add them colon
separated to the right side of the variable. They are then performed in
a left to right order.

Example: get the contents of a file called $HOME/.secret into a variable
called "fix". Make sure that the content is trimmed and percent-encoded
sent as POST data:

  --variable %HOME=/home/default
  --expand-variable fix@{{HOME}}/.secret
  --expand-data "{{fix:trim:url}}"
  https://example.com/

Documented. Many new test cases.
