storage/curl: move start call out of the constructor

This can cause request completion in the I/O thread before this constructor returns, leaving the object in an abstract state, causing a crash due to pure virtual method call. We should not start the request until this object is fully constructed. Closes https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/665
