In a preceding commit we dropped support for curl < 7.19.4, so we can
drop support for this non-obvious dependency on curl < 7.18.0.

It's non-obvious because in curl's hex version notation 0x071800 is
version 7.24.0, *not* 7.18.0, so at a glance this patch looks
incorrect.

But it's correct, because the existing version check being removed
here is wrong. The check guards use of the following curl defines:

    CURLPROXY_SOCKS4                7.10
    CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A               7.18.0
    CURLPROXY_SOCKS5                7.10
    CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME       7.18.0

I.e. the oldest version that has these is in fact 7.18.0, not
7.24.0. That we were checking 7.24.0 is just an mistake in
6d7afe07f29 (remote-http(s): support SOCKS proxies, 2015-10-26),
i.e. its author confusing base 10 and base 16.

Heh, not just the author but everybody who reviewed it may have been
confused that the version number string was binary coded decimal.

Nicely found.
