They serve very little purpose and mostly just add noise. Most of them
have been around for a very long time. I read them all before removing
or rephrasing them.

... to make all libcurl internals able to use the same data types for
the struct members. The timeval struct differs subtly on several
platforms so it makes it cumbersome to use everywhere.

Ref: #1652
Closes #1693

Multi handles repeatedly invert the queue of pending easy handles when
used with CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS. This is caused by a multistep
process involving Curl_splaygetbest and violates the FIFO property of
the multi handle.
This patch fixes this issue by redefining the "best" node in the
context of timeouts as the "smallest not larger than now", and
implementing the necessary data structure modifications to do this
effectively, namely:
 - splay nodes with the same key are now stored in a doubly-linked
   circular list instead of a non-circular one to enable O(1)
   insertion to the tail of the list
 - Curl_splayinsert inserts nodes with the same key to the tail of
   the same list
 - in case of multiple nodes with the same key, the one on the head of
   the list gets selected

... by removing the else branch after a return, break or continue.

Closes #1310
