test fails if built against libcurl 8.3.0 about trurl

[jacobmealey]

Hmmm it looks like something in url api may have changed in the recent curl release? If I build trurl against an older version the tests pass but when I build against 8.3.0 the tests fail in the same way described by @abbbi and our github actions use a pretty old version of curl so that's why it wasn't caught earlier.

It is simply getting a different error message.
Since errors for those tests now differ in different versions of libcurl, and the exact errors do not matter, you could just change the stderr expectation for those tests to true:

This is already supported by the test runner, and will be satisfied if the command results in anything being written to stderr instead of exactly "trurl error: No host part in the URL []\ntrurl error: Try trurl -h for help\n". (it will only not be satisfied if nothing is written to stderr)

the changed behavior is caused by following commit in curl url api:

curl/curl@b664b00

fix for:

curl/curl#11714

reverting this one in libcurl and linking trurl against shields the old behavior:

./trurl: /home/abi/trl/curl/lib/.libs/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by ./trurl)

]
trurl error: No host part in the URL []
trurl error: Try trurl -h for help
