Bug Description

See http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=3514#post18892

Setting the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option sometimes fails - maybe due to an open_basedir setting. We should find out what causes the failure, and test in mahara_http_request before attempting to set it. We'll also need to add a check in site_warnings(), and a message on the admin homepage explaining what might be broken when we can't use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION.

When open_basedir is set, don't set CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION (bug #909168)

    Trying to set this option fails when an open_basedir restriction is in
    effect. This patch also checks open_basedir and adds a warning to the
    admin area, and in the sanity check for an unwritable dataroot, the
    open_basedir directories are listed on the screen as a hint for
    installation.
