http: add custom hostname to IP address resolutions

Libcurl has a CURLOPT_RESOLVE easy option that allows
the result of hostname resolution in the following
format to be passed:

	[+]HOST:PORT:ADDRESS[,ADDRESS]

This way, redirects and everything operating against the
HOST+PORT will use the provided ADDRESS(s).

The following format is also allowed to stop using
hostname resolutions that have already been passed:

	-HOST:PORT

See https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_RESOLVE.html for
more details.

Let's add a corresponding "http.curloptResolve" config
option that takes advantage of CURLOPT_RESOLVE.

Each value configured for the "http.curloptResolve" key
is passed "as is" to libcurl through CURLOPT_RESOLVE, so
it should be in one of the above 2 formats. This keeps
the implementation simple and makes us consistent with
libcurl's CURLOPT_RESOLVE, and with curl's corresponding
`--resolve` command line option.

The implementation uses CURLOPT_RESOLVE only in
get_active_slot() which is called by all the HTTP
request sending functions.
