libcurl keeps a cache of open connections to servers that it reuses when
possible. Those connections are closed when curl_global_cleanup is called.
Also, reinitializing libcurl (with curl_global_init) can be expensive, and
this patch will cause it to be done for every single easy handle when only
one is used at a time.
