Description:
------------
The description of CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS is wrong.

PHP manual says: "Default is 10."
libcurl manual says: "By default libcurl will enlarge the size for each added easy handle to make it fit 4 times the number of added easy handles."

Test script:
---------------
I verified on the source that libcurl actually calculates like this:
https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/bde2f09d5e4c4a3b2826aefdda0a10c07bbb551a/lib/multi.c#L491-L493

I also verified PHP does nothing special about CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS; it just passes raw value to libcurl.
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/curl/multi.c#L534-L554

Expected result:
----------------
"By default libcurl will enlarge the size for each added easy handle to make it fit 4 times the number of added easy handles."

Actual result:
--------------
"Default is 10."

Sorry, "easy handle" is not exposed to PHP users. We have to edit it into something another.
