Curl_GetFTPResponse() now checks and properly deals with the fact that the

underlying ftp_readresp() function has a separate "cache" where there might
in fact be leftover data...

+- Continued the work on a fix for #1779054
+  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779054). My previous fix from August
+  24 was not complete (either) but could accidentally "forget" parts of a
+  server response which led to faulty server response time-out errors.

 - Minix doesn't support getsockopt on UDP sockets or send/recv on TCP
   sockets.
