It inits a few variables for the upcoming transfer. Everything in libcurl
basically is one of five "phases":

OPEN
DO
TRANSFER
DONE
CLOSE

... and TRANSFER is most often a raw sending of data that doesn't need a
complicated state machine. During the 'DO' phase, the code for a protocol uses
Curl_setup_transfer() to store a set of variables for the next phase:
TRANSFER.
