Add .nf and .fi such that the code gets wrapped in a pre on the web.
Fixed grammar, fixed formatting of the "See also" items.

The ability to do HTTP requests over a UNIX domain socket has been
requested before, in Apr 2008 [0][1] and Sep 2010 [2]. While a
discussion happened, no patch seems to get through. I decided to give it
a go since I need to test a nginx HTTP server which listens on a UNIX
domain socket.
One patch [3] seems to make it possible to use the
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION function to gain a UNIX domain socket.
Another person wrote a Go program which can do HTTP over a UNIX socket
for Docker[4] which uses a special URL scheme (though the name contains
cURL, it has no relation to the cURL library).
This patch considers support for UNIX domain sockets at the same level
as HTTP proxies / IPv6, it acts as an intermediate socket provider and
not as a separate protocol. Since this feature affects network
operations, a new feature flag was added ("unix-sockets") with a
corresponding CURL_VERSION_UNIX_SOCKETS macro.
A new CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH option is added and documented. This
option enables UNIX domain sockets support for all requests on the
handle (replacing IP sockets and skipping proxies).
A new configure option (--enable-unix-sockets) and CMake option
(ENABLE_UNIX_SOCKETS) can disable this optional feature. Note that I
deliberately did not mark this feature as advanced, this is a
feature/component that should easily be available.

Prior to this change when no file descriptors were ready on platforms
other than Windows the multi examples would sleep whatever was in
timeout, which may or may not have been less than the minimum
recommended value [1] of 100ms.
[1]: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_multi_fdset.html
Windows does not support using select() for sleeping without a dummy
socket. Instead use Windows' Sleep() and sleep for 100ms which is the
minimum suggested value in the curl_multi_fdset() doc.
Prior to this change the multi examples would exit prematurely since
select() would error instead of sleeping when called without an fd.

Reworked the two sections that discuss modifying the Visual Studio pre-
processor settings, and vc6libcurl.dsw/vc6libcurl.dsp, to remove the
project files references as they have been superseded by a more thorough
set of project files for VC6 through VC12, but to also give the correct
reference to this setting in later versions of Visual Studio.
docs/THANKS-filter is a new filter file for converting contributor names
we get or have recorded in alternative formats to the one we already use
in THANKS. To help us show individual contributors using a single
presentation of their names.
The removed names also appear as:
Andrés García, François Charlier, Gökhan Şengün, Michał Górny, Sébastien
Willemijns, Christopher Conroy, John E. Malmberg, Luca Altea, Peter Su,
S. Moonesamy, Samuel Listopad, Yasuharu Yamada, Karl Moerder
As implementations are refereed to GSS-API libraries as per the RFC and
GSSAPI typically refers to the SASL authentication mechanism.
