Description:
------------
As stated here: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE.html
and here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE is not thread safe.

This option should not get enabled by default when ZTS is enabled.
And we should not allow the user to set this option, when ZTS is enabled.

I attached a patch which fixes both things.

Test script:
---------------
Just make a lot of random requests in a lot of threads to different domains. 
After a while the crash will happen.

Expected result:
----------------
No crash

Actual result:
--------------
Crash.

Hmm, but dns should be result in the same value . and it must store in a cache line sieze. so I don't think this could be a problem.

do you have see any issue of this?

More importantly we should replace it with the share api

Using an option that is actually declared not thread safe should not be allowed in the ZTS version even if it *might* work.

@pajoye: Yes, that would definitly be the best solution. For the moment, disabling the global dns cache would solve the problem, though.

@laruence: Yes, i have seen crashes in gdb (Raspbian) and Visual Studio (Win64)  with a backtrace like this one:
