ratelimit: reset on start
On any `Curl_rlimit_start()` the rate limit needs to reset its
values before calculating the effective step duration and adjust
the tokens/burst per step.

Add two fields to the struct to remember the original values.

ratelimit: download finetune
When a download size is known and rate limiting is in effect, adjust the
duration of each measurement step and its rate for maximum precision.

Since it is unpredictable how long the last bytes of a download will
take, download speed can be thrown off if the "last bytes" are a
significant amount of the total download. Make the "last bytes" small in
comparision to the rest and "stretch" the rate limit intervals to
accommodate the difference.

Fix ngtcp2 receive data acknowldgements to be based on a local window
size tracking. This allows window updates controlled by rate limits.

Fix ratelimit wait time calculation to accomodate negative tokens.

h3 rate limit, update timeers

Make download rate limits work correctly in ngtcp2. Fix multi handling
of rate limits to set a timer for when limits will update again.

Without running the transfer on limit updates, protocols like h2/h3 may
stall if the server does not send due to stream windows being too small.

scorecard: measure download speedlimits

When running scorecard with --limit-rate=n, show the reported download
speed averages plus percentage deviation from the limit.

time-keeping: keep timestamp in multi, always update
Always use curlx_now() when calling Curl_pgrs_now(data). Tests with the
"manual" updates to now proved differ more then 100ms in parallel testing.

Add `curlx_nowp()` to set current time into a struct curltime.
Add `curlx_ptimediff_ms() and friends, passing pointers.

Update documentation.

lib: keep timestamp in easy handle
Use `data->progress.now` as the timestamp of proecssing a transfer.
Update it on significant events and refrain from calling `curlx_now()`
in many places.

The problem this addresses is
a) calling curlx_now() has costs, depending on platform. Calling it
   every time results in 25% increase `./runtest` duration on macOS.
b) we used to pass a `struct curltime *` around to save on calls, but
   when some method directly use `curx_now()` and some use the passed
   pointer, the transfer experienes non-linear time. This results in
   timeline checks to report events in the wrong order.

By keeping a timestamp in the easy handle and updating it there, no
longer invoking `curlx_now()` in the "lower" methods, the transfer
can observer a steady clock progression.

Add documentation in docs/internals/TIME-KEEPING.md

ratelimit: redesign
Description of how this works in `docs/internal/RATELIMITS.ms`.

Notable implementation changes:
- KEEP_SEND_PAUSE/KEEP_SEND_HOLD and KEEP_RECV_PAUSE/KEEP_RECV_HOLD
  no longer exist. Pausing is down via blocked the new rlimits.
- KEEP_SEND_TIMED no longer exists. Pausing "100-continue" transfers
  is done in the new `Curl_http_perform_pollset()` method.
- HTTP/2 rate limiting implemented via window updates. When
  transfer initiaiting connection has a ratelimit, adjust the
  initial window size
- HTTP/3 ngtcp2 rate limitin implemnented via ack updates
- HTTP/3 quiche does not seem to support this via its API
- the default progress-meter has been improved for accuracy
  in "current speed" results.

pytest speed tests have been improved.
