No, the QUOTE states are only used for quote commands and the
SSH_SFTP_QUOTE_STAT in specific is only used of a stat-using quote command is
used.

When doing SFTP download, the libssh2_sftp_stat_ex() command is already used
in the SSH_SFTP_DOWNLOAD_STAT state and I figure you should be able to set the
information properly after that point.

The state machine is only there to allow the function to never block and be
called again and again and yet do the correct thing. The "path" through the
state machine depends on exactly what kind of request/operation that libcurl
is told to do.
