RESUME_FROM: clarify what ftp uploads do

Browse Source

local file and it will "blindly" append that data on the remote
file. This was certainly not clear in the docs previously.

(useful to continue an interrupted upload).
When doing uploads with FTP, the resume position is where in the local/source
file libcurl should try to resume the upload from and it will then append the
source file to the remote target file.

Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. It contains the offset in number of bytes that
you want the transfer to start from. (Added in 7.11.0)
