Step one for this journey is in PR 6425 [1].

It converts *a lot* of internal APIs to use 'struct Curl_easy *' instead of or
in addition to 'struct connectdata *'.

I'm going to make sure the PR goes green in the CI tests (minus the flaky
tests), then clean up/squash the commits sensibly and then land it - maybe
within a few days. This PR currently reduces the amount of 'conn->data' use in
the code to less than half than before (from 919 to 392).

Working on this PR I get a really good feel for this new world order. I think
it will help us keep better track of tranfers vs connections in the code. More
controlled.

I think the remaining references can be done as smaller PRs.
