url: Add option CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT

- Add new option CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT to set libcurl's happy
  eyeball timeout value.

- Add new optval macro CURL_HET_DEFAULT to represent the default happy
  eyeballs timeout value (currently 200 ms).

- Add new tool option --happy-eyeballs-timeout-ms to expose
  CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT. The -ms suffix is used because the
  other -timeout options in the tool expect seconds not milliseconds.

Closes curl#2260

+Help: How long to wait in milliseconds for IPv6 before trying IPv4
+Added: 7.59.0
+---
+Happy eyeballs is an algorithm that attempts to connect to both IPv4 and IPv6
+addresses for dual-stack hosts, preferring IPv6 first for the number of
+milliseconds. If the IPv6 address cannot be connected to within that time then
+a connection attempt is made to the IPv4 address in parallel. The first
+connection to be established is the one that is used.
+
+The range of suggested useful values is limited. Happy Eyeballs RFC 6555 says
+"It is RECOMMENDED that connection attempts be paced 150-250 ms apart to
+balance human factors against network load." libcurl currently defaults to
+200 ms. Firefox and Chrome currently default to 300 ms.
+
+If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
