KNOWN_BUG: The SOCKET type in Win64 is 64 bits

Browse Source 
The SOCKET type in Win64 is 64 bits large (and thus so is curl_socket_t
on that platform), and long is only 32 bits. It makes it impossible for
curl_easy_getinfo() to return a socket properly with the
CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET option as for all other operating systems.
