Hello,
I want to add two new protocols to libcurl soon (for websockets) but there is
no room left in the CURLOPT_PROTO bitmask within 32 bits.
The main reason there is no room left, in spite of curl only supporting 26
protocols, is that RTMP occupies *6* slots in that bitmask. I consider that a
mistake, but a mistake that is done in the public API so changing it is a bit
risky.
I want to move out four of the defines that we never should have added there
in the first place and I have a PR for it. See below.
I realize this goes against policies and API/ABI stability guidelines, but I
consider the risk to be minimal and the alternatives to be annoying and
painful.

If anyone has a better idea on how to solve this challenge, then let me know!
