CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM is deprecated and will never be returned, as
documented.

During the first decade or so of libcurl's multi interface, I never saw a
single proper use of that feature. I did however see numerous mistakes and
misunderstandings. That made me decide that the feature wasn't important or
good enough, so since 7.20.0 CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM is no more.
