Hi friends,

As has been requested a few times, I'm hereby offering an option that allows
an application to switch off libcurl's "dedotdotify" function. That's the
function that squashes parts of the path that contain "/../ or "/./".

Normally a path in a URL that says "/moo/../hello" will be sent over the wire
as just "/hello". (This behavior was added to libcurl in 7.32.0) This handling
has been unconditional so far.

Attached is a (gzipped to make the test cases survive better) patch. I'll
welcome all and any comments, high or low.

     CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS: added

     --path-as-is is the command line option

     Added docs in curl.1 and CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS.3

     Added test in test 1241
