When the always-multi rewrite of libcurl 7.29.0, the old CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS was broken and it needs to be fixed.
- write test case(s) to verify the existance of the bug
- make sure the limit is set for the internal multi handle that is used for curl_easy_perform
- make sure the test case proves the bug to be gone
Fixed now by Linus in commit e87e76e2dc108
