The most reliable way to do this is probably to write a SIGTERM handler that
sets a global flag, then check the flag from the CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION
callback function and return non-zero when it's set. This will cause the
transfer to be aborted and return CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK.
CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION is called fairly frequently even when nothing is
happening so there won't be much of a delay before the signal is acknowledged.
You can also check the flag in your read/write callback function to reduce the
delay even further in the case of an ongoing transfer.
