Use Unix when generically writing about Unix based systems as UNIX is
the trademark and should only be used in a particular product's name.

The ability to do HTTP requests over a UNIX domain socket has been
requested before, in Apr 2008 [0][1] and Sep 2010 [2]. While a
discussion happened, no patch seems to get through. I decided to give it
a go since I need to test a nginx HTTP server which listens on a UNIX
domain socket.
One patch [3] seems to make it possible to use the
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION function to gain a UNIX domain socket.
Another person wrote a Go program which can do HTTP over a UNIX socket
for Docker[4] which uses a special URL scheme (though the name contains
cURL, it has no relation to the cURL library).
This patch considers support for UNIX domain sockets at the same level
as HTTP proxies / IPv6, it acts as an intermediate socket provider and
not as a separate protocol. Since this feature affects network
operations, a new feature flag was added ("unix-sockets") with a
corresponding CURL_VERSION_UNIX_SOCKETS macro.
A new CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH option is added and documented. This
option enables UNIX domain sockets support for all requests on the
handle (replacing IP sockets and skipping proxies).
A new configure option (--enable-unix-sockets) and CMake option
(ENABLE_UNIX_SOCKETS) can disable this optional feature. Note that I
deliberately did not mark this feature as advanced, this is a
feature/component that should easily be available.

As this has been present for SOCKSv5 proxy since v7.19.4 and for IMAP,
POP3 and SMTP authentication since v7.38.0.

Reflect recent changes in SPNEGO and GSS-API code in the docs.
Update them with appropriate namings and remove visible spots for
GSS-Negotiate.

And clarify that age 3 means 7.16.1 or later.

With the curl memory tracking feature decoupled from the debug build feature,
CURLDEBUG and DEBUGBUILD preprocessor symbol definitions are used as follows:
CURLDEBUG used for curl debug memory tracking specific code (--enable-curldebug)
DEBUGBUILD used for debug enabled specific code (--enable-debug)
