smart-http: Don't change POST to GET when following redirect

For a long time (29508e1 "Isolate shared HTTP request functionality", Fri
Nov 18 11:02:58 2005), we've followed HTTP redirects with
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION.

However, when the remote HTTP server returns a redirect the default
libcurl action is to change a POST request into a GET request while
following the redirect, but the remote http backend does not expect
that.

Fix this by telling libcurl to always keep the request as type POST with
CURLOPT_POSTREDIR.

For users of libcurl older than 7.19.1, use CURLOPT_POST301 instead,
which only follows 301s instead of both 301s and 302s.
