Like a recent GitHub CI run on linux-musl [1] shows, we seem to be
getting a bunch of errors of the form:

  Error: http.c:1002:9: 'CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS' is deprecated:
  since 7.85.0. Use CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR
  [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]

For some of them, it may be reasonable to follow the deprecation
notice and update the code, but some symbols like the above is not.

According to the release table [2], 7.85.0 that deprecates
CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS was released on 2022-08-31, less than a year
ago, and according to the symbols-in-versions table [3],
CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR was introduced in 7.85.0, so it will
make us incompatible with anything older than a year if we rewrote
the call as the message suggests.

Make sure that we won't break the build when -Wdeprecated-declarations
triggers.
