block/curl: disable extra protocols to prevent CVE-2013-0249
There is a buffer overflow in libcurl POP3/SMTP/IMAP. The workaround is
simple: disable extra protocols so that they cannot be exploited. Full
details here:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20130206.html
QEMU only cares about HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, and TFTP. I have tested
that this fix prevents the exploit on my host with
libcurl-7.27.0-5.fc18.
