Colin Walters 72336f1c48 fetcher/curl: Fix leaks caught by ASAN
I had to rebuild `glib` with `-fsanitize=address` in order to get a stack trace
to finally get this one.  However, *installing* that glib "system wide"
in my container breaks everything (including `rpm-ostree`, `dnf`, `pkg-config` etc.)
that wasn't built with ASAN.

So my test scenario right now is to extract the libs and do e.g.:
```
make && env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/src/distgit/fedora/glib2/asan-libs make check TESTS=tests/test-basic.sh
```

Colin Walters 2c326d705e fetcher: Log failures into journal
Particularly when HTTP requests fail, I really want a lot more information.
We could theoretically stuff it into the `GError` message field, but
that gets ugly *fast*.

Using the systemd journal allows us to log things in a structured fashion.
Right now e.g. rpm-ostree won't be aware of this additional information,
but I think we could teach it to be down the line.

In the short term, users can learn to find it from `systemctl status rpm-ostreed`
or `journalctl -b -r -u rpm-ostreed`, etc.

One thing I'd like to do next is log successful fetches of e.g. commit objects
as well with more information about the originating server (things like the
final URL if we were redirected, did we use TLS pinning, what was the negotiated
TLS version+cipher, etc).

Colin Walters 361aa449fb libcurl backend
For rpm-ostree, we already link to libcurl indirectly via librepo, and
only having one HTTP library in process makes sense.

Further, libcurl is (I think) more popular in the embedded space.  It
also supports HTTP/2.0 today, which is a *very* nice to have for OSTree.

This seems to be working fairly well for me in my local testing, but it's
obviously brand new nontrivial code, so it's going to need some soak time.

The ugliest part of this is having to vendor in the soup-url code. With
Oxidation we could follow the path of Firefox and use the
[Servo URL parser](https://github.com/servo/rust-url).  Having to redo
cookie parsing also sucked, and that would also be a good oxidation target.

But that's for the future.
