http: control GSSAPI credential delegationps/http-gssapi-cred-delegation

Delegation of credentials is disabled by default in libcurl since
version 7.21.7 due to security vulnerability CVE-2011-2192. Which
makes troubles with GSS/kerberos authentication when delegation
of credentials is required. This can be changed with option
CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION in libcurl with set expected parameter
since libcurl version 7.22.0.

This patch provides new configuration variable http.delegation
which corresponds to curl parameter "--delegation" (see man 1 curl).

The following values are supported:

* none (default).
* policy
* always
