See --enable-soname-bump option in curl.

This change in oe-core:
  commit 49c848018484827c433e1bcf9c63416640456f3e
  Author: Khem Raj <raj.k...@gmail.com>
  Date:   Tue Apr 28 22:34:22 2015 -0700
  Subject:  curl: Fix wrong assumption about sizeof off_t on largefile
    systems

    This issue was reported on poky ml as well see
    https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/poky/2013-December/009435.html

Causes this difference in curl_config.h between Dizzy and Fido:
diff 7.40.0-r0-dizzy/build/lib/curl_config.h
     7.40.0-r0-fido/build/lib/curl_config.h
878c877
< #define SIZEOF_OFF_T 4
---
> #define SIZEOF_OFF_T 8
Which in turn causes curl's configure script to stop bumping the SONAME
version.

That's why newer curl 7.40.1 produces libcurl4 while older 7.37.1
produced libcurl5.
