curl_global_init: accept the CURL_GLOBAL_ACK_EINTR flag
The flag can be used in pycurl-based applications where using the multi interface would not be acceptable because of the performance lost caused by implementing the select() loop in python. Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1168 Downstream Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/919127

.B CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT
A sensible default. It will init both SSL and Win32. Right now, this equals
the functionality of the \fBCURL_GLOBAL_ALL\fP mask.

+.B CURL_GLOBAL_ACK_EINTR
+When this flag is set, curl will acknowledge EINTR condition when connecting

.SH RETURN VALUE
If this function returns non-zero, something went wrong and you cannot use the
other curl functions.
