Adding CURL support to /wp-admin/link-import.php

[Cypher]

The current link-import.php file assumes that remote FOPEN() is available to read OPML files. This patch adds a check for allow_url_fopen and in the case of it not being available, uses CURL to grab the file.

I'm starting to think that it would be good to have all the remote file fetching be done by our own class/function that can figure out if fopen(), CURL, or Snoopy is the best choice. It seems that each one is being done its own way. Why not just a generic

$file = wp_get_remote_file($uri);

??

We already have wp_remote_fopen() in functions.php which returns the contents of a remote file. I attached a patch which takes advantage of said function.

(In [2854]) Use wp_remote_fopen to fetch remote OPML. Props Cypher, davidhouse. fixes #1491
