CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS: added

Allow an appliction to set libcurl specific SSL options. The first and
only options supported right now is CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST.

It will make libcurl to disable any work-arounds the underlying SSL
library may have to address a known security flaw in the SSL3 and TLS1.0
protocol versions.

This is a reaction to us unconditionally removing that behavior after
this security advisory:

http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20120124B.html

... it did however cause a lot of programs to fail because of old
servers not liking this work-around. Now programs can opt to decrease
the security in order to interoperate with old servers better.
