This short series introduces a few new http.* configuration options to
control curl's behavior around TCP keepalive packets. The details are
spelled out in the final patch, but the gist is:
- http.keepAliveIdle specifies how long in seconds to wait on an idle
connection before beginning to send keepalive packets.
- http.keepAliveInterval does the same but controls the interval
between successive keepalive packets.
- http.keepAliveCount specifies how many keepalive packets to send
before closing down the connection.
The first two commits of the series are general code clean-up of a
couple of small things I noticed while reading through the http.c code,
and the final patch implements these new options.
I couldn't think of a great way to test these new configuration
settings, and given the simplicity of the final patch I opted for no
tests there. But if someone has a good idea of how to test this
behavior, please let me know.
In either case, thanks in advance for your review!

http.c: introduce `set_long_from_env()` for convenience
http.c: inline `set_curl_keepalive()`
http.c: allow custom TCP keepalive behavior via config
