input/curl: enable CURLOPT_NETRC
I wanted mpd to play a mp3 stream from a music website. The stream is only available to subscribers, which restriction is enforced through normal http authentication. However, the URL I get from the website is not the final URL of the stream, but a generic URL which points to the real one through a redirect (code 301). Thus, I cannot predict the final URL, and so I cannot use the username:password hack to force the authentication, and mpd (libcurl on mpds behalf) fails to grab the stream. libcurl allows the option CURLOPT_NETRC to be set and then the credentials can be stored in the good old .netrc file (in this case it would be ~mpd/.netrc, of course). But mpd doesn't set this option. I think it should.
