input/curl: remove assertion after curl_multi_fdset()
Some users reported that MPD crashes when using a new CURL version with the threaded DNS resolver enabled. It seems that curl_multi_fdset() returns no file descriptor when the DNS resolver runs in another thread, so MPD does not have any event to wait for. On the CURL mailing list, somebody suggested to sleep for a fixed amount of time. This is not an elegant solution, because daemons should never have to sleep without waiting for an event. I hope the CURL developers will review the API and remove the threaded DNS resolver. Meanwhile, I'm removing the assertion in question, to allow those unfortunate users running the latest CURL version to continue using MPD.
