git-imap-send: use libcurl for implementation
Use libcurl's high-level API functions to implement git-imap-send
instead of the previous low-level OpenSSL-based functions.
Since version 7.30.0, libcurl's API has been able to communicate with
IMAP servers. Using those high-level functions instead of the current
ones would reduce imap-send.c by some 1200 lines of code. For now,
the old ones are wrapped in #ifdefs, and the new functions are enabled
by make if curl's version is >= 7.34.0, from which version on curl's
CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS (enabling IMAP authentication) parameter has been
available. The low-level functions will still be used for tunneling
into the server for now.
As I don't have access to that many IMAP servers, I haven't been able to
test the new code with a wide variety of parameter combinations. I did
test both secure and insecure (imaps:// and imap://) connections and
values of "PLAIN" and "LOGIN" for the authMethod.
In order to suppress a sparse warning about "using sizeof on a
function", we use the same solution used in commit 9371322a6
("sparse: suppress some "using sizeof on a function" warnings",
06-10-2013) which solved exactly this problem for the other commands
using libcurl.
