ip_quadruple/proxy: make port uint16_t
Make `port` member in these struct of type `uint16_t`.

add `uint8_t transport` to `struct ip_quadruple

Define TRNSPRT_NONE as 0. By assigning a valid transport only on a
successful connection, it is clear when the ip_quadruple members are
valid. Also, for transports not involving ports, the getinfos for
`CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT` and `CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT` will now always return
-1.

Make all `transport` members and parameters of type `uint8_t`.

Document the return value of `CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT` and
`CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT` in this regard. Add tests that writeout stats
report ports correctly.

Closes #19708

NAME

CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT - last destination port number

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT, long *portp);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the destination port of the most recent connection done with this curl handle.

This is the destination port of the actual TCP or UDP connection libcurl used. If a proxy was used for the most recent transfer, this is the port number of the proxy, if no proxy was used it is the port number of the most recently accessed URL.

If the connection was done using QUIC, the port number is a UDP port number.

If no connection was established or if the protocol does not use ports, -1 is returned.

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(res == CURLE_OK) {
      long port;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT, &port);
      if(!res)
        printf("Connected to remote port: %ld\n", port);
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

RETURN VALUE

curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
