Added CURLOPT_LOCALPORT and CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE to libcurl. Set with the

curl tool with --local-port. Plain and simply set the range of ports to bind
the local end of connections to. Implemented on to popular demand.

Not extensively tested. Please let me know how it works.

Pass a char * as parameter. This set the interface name to use as outgoing
network interface. The name can be an interface name, an IP address or a host
name.
.IP CURLOPT_LOCALPORT
Pass a long. This sets the local port number of the socket used for
connection. This can be used in combination with \fICURLOPT_INTERFACE\fP and
you are recommended to use \fICURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE\fP as well when this is
set. Note that port numbers are only valid 1 - 65535. (Added in 7.15.2)
.IP CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE
Pass a long. This is the number of attempts libcurl should do to find a
working local port number. It starts with the given \fICURLOPT_LOCALPORT\fP
and adds one to the number for each retry. Setting this value to 1 or below
will make libcurl do only one try for exact port number. Note that port
numbers by nature is a scarce resource that will be busy at times so setting
this value to something too low might cause unnecessary connection setup
failures. (Added in 7.15.2)
.IP CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT
Pass a long, this sets the timeout in seconds. Name resolves will be kept in
memory for this number of seconds. Set to zero (0) to completely disable
