According to meson.build the minimal version of curl needed is
7.18.0 which was released in January 2008. If the minimal version
is bumped to 7.19.1 (released in November 2008) we can drop some
workarounds because this newer version provides APIs we need.

Although the three functions esxFreePrivate(), esxFreeStreamPrivate(),
and esxUtil_FreeParsedUri() are calling VIR_FREE on *object, and so in
theory the caller of the function might rely on "object" (the free
function's arg) being set to NULL, in practice these functions are
only called from a couple places each, and in all cases the pointer
that is passed is a local variable, and goes out of scope almost
immediately after calling the Free function, so it is safe to change
VIR_FREE() into g_free().

All of these strings are allocated once, freed once, and are never
returned out of the function where they are created, used, and are
freed.

There are three virStreamDriver's currently supported:
* virFDStream
* remote driver
* ESX driver
For now, backend virStreamRecvFlags support for only remote driver and
ESX driver is sufficient. Future patches will update virFDStream.

This allows to implement libvirt functions that use streams, such as
virDoaminScreenshot, without the need to store the downloaded data in
a temporary file first. The stream driver directly interacts with
libcurl to send and receive data.
The driver uses the libcurl multi interface that allows to do a transfer
in multiple curl_multi_perform() calls. The easy interface would do the
whole transfer in a single curl_easy_perform() call. This doesn't work
with the libvirt stream API that is driven by multiple calls to the
virStreamSend() and virStreamRecv() functions.
The curl_multi_wait() function is used to do blocking operations. But it
was added in libcurl 7.28.0. For older versions it is emulated using the
socket callback of the multi interface.
The current driver only supports blocking operations. There is already
some code in place for non-blocking mode but it is not complete.
