url: handle arbitrary-length username and password before '@'
libcurl quietly truncates usernames, passwords, and options from before an '@' sign in a URL to 255 (= MAX_CURL_PASSWORD_LENGTH - 1) characters to fit in fixed-size buffers on the stack. Allocate a buffer large enough to fit the parsed fields on the fly instead to support longer passwords. After this change, there are no more uses of MAX_CURL_OPTIONS_LENGTH left, so stop defining that constant while at it. The hardcoded max username and password length constants, on the other hand, are still used in HTTP proxy credential handling (which this patch doesn't touch). Reported-by: Colby Ranger
