http: added options for allowing HTTP/0.9 responses
Added CURLOPT_HTTP09_ALLOWED and --http0.9 for this purpose. For now, both the tool and library allow HTTP/0.9 by default. docs/DEPRECATE.md lays out the plan for when to reverse that default: 6 months after the 7.64.0 release. The options are added already now so that applications/scripts can start using them already now. Fixes #2873 Closes #3383

Remove all global-cache related code from curl around April 2019 (might be
7.66.0).

+## HTTP/0.9
+
+Supporting this is non-obvious and might even come as a surprise to some
+users. Potentially even being a security risk in some cases.

+### State
+
+curl 7.64.0 introduces options to disable/enable support for this protocol
+version. The default remains supported for now.
+
+### Removal
+
+The support for HTTP/0.9 will be switched to disabled by default in 6 months,
+in the September 2019 release (possibly called curl 7.68.0).
