Public bug reported:

If you are using a site with gravatars enabled and they connection is
not resolvable then on login the check is held open for 60 seconds until
curl instance times out as per:

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);

in mahara_http_request()

But the check goes thru is_valid_url() and this is because we don't want
to fetch the result but check the url does exist/resolves

So we should pass a CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT value that is small so things
timeout much quicker
