Summary: Add curl_easy_setoptv

Initial Comment:
I am writing a small c++ wrapper for curl and came across an issue with curl_easy_setopt. There is no va_list alternative version of this function making it impossible to encapsulate; see: http://c-faq.com/varargs/handoff.html. To fix this we simply create a va_list version of this function: curl_easy_setoptv. I have attached a very small patch to fix this issue.

Message:
It is not impossible at all. In fact it's even fairly easy. See the
src/main.c:_my_setopt() function for how we do it within the curl tool
source code.

Your function does make it easier but with the fancy type checks we have
for curl_easy_setopt() now and the fact that we can easily work around this
little flaw, I'm not at all convinced we should add this new function you
suggest.
