Reported threadpool segfault in pacman with curl 8.20 turns out to be a pacman issue.
Applications cannot expect curl handles to work the same in a forked child. While his may have "just worked" with earlier curl versions, it now becomes noticeable with the new threadpool resolver.

Started a discussion if curl should detect such situations and fail it in a controlled way.

@icing so basically it was always broken but because curl is "more correct" now this bug revealed itself? Fascinating.

@bitbraindev The trigger was that we now have a thread pool that gets shutdown on `curl_multi_cleanup()` and that crashes in a forked child as threads are not forked.
Before that, such threads were joined on `curl_easy_cleanup()`, which seems to happen in pacman before the fork.
