            Fix deadlock in fork()ed child with curl 8.20

Patch taken from Arch:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pacman/-/commit/387ebf06060fd5f
proposed upstream at
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/merge_requests/361.

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/merge_requests/360 is a
better fix (without memory leaks), but neither has been accepted
upstream yet. But being accepted in Arch is good enough for now, and
avoids the hangs.

See https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/issues/4344 for details.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] libalpm: invalidate curl data in child
+
+Touching that data inside the child makes it crash. So let's invalidate
+and ignore it there.
