curl: explicitly initialize and cleanup global curl state

Our curl-based streams make use of the easy curl interface. This
interface automatically initializes and de-initializes the global curl
state by calling out to `curl_global_init` and `curl_global_cleanup`.
Thus, all global state will be repeatedly re-initialized when creating
multiple curl streams in succession. Despite being inefficient, this is
not thread-safe due to `curl_global_init` being not thread-safe itself.
Thus a multi-threaded programing handling multiple curl streams at the
same time is inherently racy.

Fix the issue by globally initializing and cleaning up curl's state.
