Quit curl cleanly even if libcurl is old.
Building feh 3.3 on CentOS 7 x86_64 warns `curl_quit_function` in `imlib.c` is unused:
```

static int curl_quit_function(void *clientp, curl_off_t dltotal, curl_off_t dlnow, curl_off_t ultotal, curl_off_t ulnow)
^
```
The `curl_quit_function` code was added in response to pull [#435](https://github.com/derf/feh/pull/435)
In issue [#485](https://github.com/derf/feh/issues/485) a fellow CentOS 7 user had an error building feh because CentOS 7 is locked into an old version of libcurl. In the fix, a version guard was wrapped around the `curl_easy_setopt` call, but the rest of the code was unchanged.
Since I don't want to maintain a local build of libcurl, I looked at the curl docs and noticed there is an older callback which serves the same purpose: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION.html
The difference between `PROGRESS` and `XFERINFO` is the callback's argument types, with `PROGRESS` using `double` and `XFERINFO` using `curl_off_t`: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION.html
The callback's return value logic and use of `CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS` is the same.
For context, the latest libcurl RPM I'm getting from yum updates is `libcurl-7.29.0-54.el7_7.2.x86_64`. The "stable" versions of other distros may encounter similar issues. The CentOS 7 "End of Life" date is 2024-06-30 so you should hear the end of this by then, at least from us pesky CentOS users.
