It includes pacman.conf new 'ConcurrentDownloadStreams' option that
specifies how many concurrent downloads curl starts in parallel.
The value is set to '5' by default. Setting it to '0' removes upper
limit on number of concurrent downloads.
Add alpm_option_set_concurrent_download_streams() ALPM function that
allows to set this config option programmatically.
