Sort of "fixed" KNOWN_BUGS #4: curl now builds IPv6 enabled on AIX 4.3. At
least it should no longer cause a compiler error. However, it does not have AI_NUMERICHOST so we cannot getaddrinfo() any numerical addresses with it (we use that for FTP PORT/EPRT)! So, I modified the configure check that checks if the getaddrinfo() is working, to use AI_NUMERICHOST since then it'll fail on AIX 4.3 and it will automatically build with IPv6 support disabled.

- Added --trace-time that when used adds a time stamp to each trace line that
--trace, --trace-ascii and --verbose output. I also made the '>' display
separate each line on the linefeed so that HTTP requests etc look nicer in
