http: prefer CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION to CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION

The IOCTLFUNCTION option has been deprecated, and generates a compiler
warning in recent versions of curl. We can switch to using SEEKFUNCTION
instead. It was added in 2008 via curl 7.18.0; our INSTALL file already
indicates we require at least curl 7.19.4.

But there's one catch: curl says we should use CURL_SEEKFUNC_{OK,FAIL},
and those didn't arrive until 7.19.5. One workaround would be to use a
bare 0/1 here (or define our own macros).  But let's just bump the
minimum required version to 7.19.5. That version is only a minor version
bump from our existing requirement, and is only a 2 month time bump for
versions that are almost 13 years old. So it's not likely that anybody
cares about the distinction.

Switching means we have to rewrite the ioctl functions into seek
functions. In some ways they are simpler (seeking is the only
operation), but in some ways more complex (the ioctl allowed only a full
rewind, but now we can seek to arbitrary offsets).

Curl will only ever use SEEK_SET (per their documentation), so I didn't
bother implementing anything else, since it would naturally be
completely untested. This seems unlikely to change, but I added an
assertion just in case.

Likewise, I doubt curl will ever try to seek outside of the buffer sizes
we've told it, but I erred on the defensive side here, rather than do an
out-of-bounds read.
