http: add --strip-path-slash and CURLOPT_STRIP_PATH_SLASH
... to enable sending "OPTIONS *" which wasn't possible previously. This option currently only works for HTTP. Added test cases 1298 + 1299 to verify Fixes #1280 Closes #1462

-5.12 OPTIONS *
-
- HTTP defines an OPTIONS method that can be sent with an asterisk option like
- "OPTIONS *" to ask about options from the server and not a specific URL
- resource. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.3.4
-
- libcurl as it currently works will always sent HTTP methods with a path that
- starts with a slash so there's no way for an application to send a proper
- "OPTIONS *" using libcurl. This should be fixed.
-
- I can't think of any other non-slash paths we should support so it will
- probably make sense to add a new boolean option for issuign an "OPTIONS *"
- request. CURLOPT_OPTIONSASTERISK perhaps (and a corresponding command line
- option)?
