libcurl is inherently paused while in a callback, so if you're just using
the easy interface and therefore have just a single transfer
outstanding, you can ignore curl_easy_pause and just do your thread
synchronization within the read callback. Simply don't return from that
callback with valid data until it's available! You can do any sort
of synchronization you want in that callback, just don't return before
the data is ready.
