Changes since v5:

* Split the existing double-close fix, HTTP 416 handling, generic
  concurrent-download fix, and Windows sharing fix into separate
  patches.
* Replace the FIFO-based concurrent HTTP 416 test with a standalone
  completed-partial test. Besides simplifying the test, this covers the
  non-concurrent interrupted-download case directly.
* Keep the final production code unchanged.

Each patch passes t5550-http-fetch-dumb.sh. The final series also passes
t5702-protocol-v2.sh, and the overlapping-download test passes 240 runs
with 12 parallel stress jobs.

The v5 discussion is at:

Is everybody happy with this new iteration?

The design of the re-download feature itself, as far as I
understand, was favourably accepted from the earliest iteration, and
now the CI breakages were corrected with the latest iteration of the
tests, so we should be in pretty good shape, I presume.

Yeah, sorry, I hadn't had time to look carefully. I just did so, and it
all looks good to me. v6 splits the patches in a way that (at least to
my mind) make the trickiest parts of the logic easier to follow.

Thanks.
