Add transfer rate limit support to NetworkCurl

This can be used for testing for poor network connectivity
Introduce max_transfer_bytes_per_second field in
NetworkInitializationSettings. When non-zero, this value is applied
per connection via CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE and
CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE (requires libcurl >= 7.15.5).
