make it easier to use curl for unusual url schemes

Browse source 
Use curl when annex.security.allowed-url-schemes includes an url scheme not
supported by git-annex internally, as long as
annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses is configured to allow using curl.

git-annex can be used with any url scheme that curl supports, but you have to
configure it to allow using it. See the documentation
of annex.security.allowed-url-schemes in the git-annex man page.
You will also have to set annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses
to "all".
It seems that even with both settings, git-annex still avoids using curl
for unsupported url schemes, unless you also set annex.web-options
to some option used by curl. That forces it to use curl. I set it to
"--netrc". You will probably need to use that option anyway since I think
curl needs configuration in a netrc file to authenticate for sftp.
(I feel that it's a bug that annex.web-options needs to be set to make it
use curl, and I've fixed that in master.)

Any url schemes supported by curl can be listed here, but you will

Some special remotes support their own domain-specific URL
schemes; those are not affected by this configuration setting.
