libcurl API overview

libcurl-ct uses the underlying libcurl C shared library as specified in
libcurl.cfg (included libcurl-X.X.* is the default), but there is also ability
to specify it programmatically by one of the following ways:
import libcurl
libcurl.config(LIBCURL="libcurl C shared library absolute path")
# or
libcurl.config(LIBCURL=None) # included libcurl-X.X.* will be use
