to still set/use all timeout options etc, without risking getting signals.
(Added in 7.10)
If this option is set and libcurl has been built with the standard name
resolver, timeouts will not occur while the name resolve takes place.
Consider building libcurl with ares support to enable asynchronous DNS
lookups. It enables nice timeouts for name resolves without signals.
