TODO: remove already implemented or bad items

- remove "connect to multiple IPs in parallel"
- remove "CURLOPT_RESOLVE for any port number", It can already be
  accomplished with CURLOPT_CONNECT_TO
- remove "dynamically load modules", we don't believe in this
- remove "netrc caching and sharing", we already cache it
- remove "Offer API to flush the connection pool", this is effectively
  what CURLMOPT_NETWORK_CHANGED now allows
- remove "WebSocket read callback", introduced in 8.16.0

Closes #18542

-1.14 connect to multiple IPs in parallel
-
- curl currently implements the happy eyeball algorithm for connecting to the
- IPv4 and IPv6 alternatives for a host in parallel, sticking with the
- connection that "wins". We could implement a similar algorithm per individual
- IP family as well when there are multiple available addresses: start with the
- first address, then start a second attempt N milliseconds after and then a
- third another N milliseconds later. That way there would be less waiting when
- the first IP has problems. It also improves the connection timeout value

- The netrc file is read and parsed each time a connection is setup, which
