[TYPO3-core] RFC: #1364, #5985, #7624: improved version of getUrl (cUrl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, error reporting)

[Martin Kutschker]

The idea is that in crucial points like the EM, the reason is reported 
to the user, so she can check her setup, and figure out why eg TER 
couldn't be reached.

PS: What about the PHP version now? If it's really 5.2 (as announced) 
and not 5.1 (as in the current code) I could use error_get_last() to 
report even file_get_contents() errors.
