Does it make sense to reverse the retval here?

`if (!redact_sensitive_header())` sounds like "if not redacted, ..." -
but here it means the opposite, right?

I'd really like some more comments in this function - even just one
describing the string we're trying to redact, or showing a sample line.
Navigating string parsing is always a bit difficult.

Nit: Every other helper in this file calls it _dump_, so should this
also say _dump_ instead of _print_?

Otherwise functionally it seems fine to me. case CURLINFO_TEXT is the
one case that's not already using a curl_dump_* helper, so we're adding
one, and to that helper we're adding a call out to
redact_sensitive_header().

Thanks.
