Summary0002663: curl 7.65.0 breaks HTTP redirects
DescriptionI noticed after upgrading to 7.65.0 that HTTP redirects don't work anymore. I bisected this down to https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3837, which prevents calls into the curl API from callbacks, since that is unsupported usage.

It looks like the root of the issue is that fetch_curl_data (a curl callback) can trigger a new fetch request, which calls curl_multi_add_handle, which is now failing with CURLM_RECURSIVE_API_CALL.

I think to resolve this, netsurf needs to wait until fetch_curl_done to start new requests for redirects.
Steps To Reproduce1. Build netsurf against curl 7.65.0
2. Load a URL resulting in a redirect, such as https://httpstat.us/302
3. Request appears to hang

Hi,

I'm unable to reproduce this myself as I don't have a new enough cURL but I've added a patch which ought to mitigate this. Could you please try running CI#4655 (or building a new version from master if that's how you're diagnosing) so that we can see if this helps.

Thanks,

Daniel.
