Return CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE from CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION to pause a transfer. Specifically:
/*
* Demonstrate the application busyloop issue with multi interface when
* CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION returns CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE.
*
* While the application does request pausing of the transfer by itself
* it should still not lead to 100% CPU consumption. For example Webkit
* cURL backend does use this functionality to pause transfers, and does
* trigger this issue.
*
* Written by Harry Sintonen <sintonen@iki.fi>. Heavily based on multi.c
* example by Daniel Stenberg, Copyright (C) 1998 - 2020, Daniel Stenberg,
* <daniel@haxx.se>, et al.
