curl_easy_pause: on unpause, trigger mulit-socket handling

Browse Source 
When the multi-socket API is used, we need the handle to be checked
again when it gets unpaused.

This function was added in libcurl 7.18.0. Before this version, there was no
explicit support for pausing transfers.
.SH "USAGE WITH THE MULTI-SOCKET INTERFACE"
Before libcurl 7.32.0, when a specific handle was unpaused with this function,
there was no particular forced rechecking or similar of the socket's state,
which made the continuation of the transfer get delayed until next
multi-socket call invoke or even longer. Alternatively, the user could
forcibly call for example curl_multi_socket_all(3) - with a rather hefty
performance penalty.
Starting in libcurl 7.32.0, unpausing a transfer will schedule a timeout
trigger for that handle 1 millisecond into the future, so that a
curl_multi_socket_action( ... CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT) can be used immediately
afterwards to get the transfer going again as desired.
.SH "MEMORY USE"
When pausing a read by returning the magic return code from a write callback,
the read data is already in libcurl's internal buffers so it'll have to keep
