lib: make resolving HTTPS DNS records reliable:
- allow to specify when they are wanted on starting a resolve
- match dns cache entries accordingly. An entry which never
  tried to get HTTPS-RRs is no answer for a resolve that wants
  it.
- fix late arrivals of resolve answers to match the "async"
  records that started them - if it still exists.
- provide for multiple "async" resolves in a transfer at the
  same time. We may need to resolve an IP interface while the
  main connection resolve has not finished yet.
- allow lookup of HTTPS-RR information as soon as it is
  available, even if A/AAAA queries are still ongoing.

For this, the "async" infrastructure is changed:

- Defined bits for DNS queries `CURL_DNSQ_A`, `CURL_DNSQ_AAAA`
  and `CURL_DNSQ_HTTPS`. These replace `ip_version` which says
  nothing about HTTPS.
  Use them in dns cache entries for matching.
- enhance the `async->id` to be a unique `uint32_t` for
  resolves inside one multi. This is weak, as the id may
  wrap around. However it is combined with the `mid` of
  the easy handle, making collisions highly unlikely.
  `data->state.async` is only accessed in few places where
  the mid/async-id match is performed.
- vtls: for ECH supporting TLS backends (openssl, rustls, wolfssl),
  retrieve the HTTPS-RR information from the dns connection filter.
  Delay the connect if the HTTPS-RR is needed, but has not
  been resolved yet.

The implementation of all this is complete for the threaded
resolver. c-ares resolver and DoH do not take advantage of
all new async features yet. To be done in separate PRs.

Details:

c-ares: cleanup settings and initialisation. Any ares channel
is only being created on starting a resolve and propagating
operations in setopt.c to the channel are not helpful.

Changed threaded+ares pollset handling so that they do not
overwrite each others `ASYNC_NAME` timeouts.

Add trace name 'threads' for tracing thread queue and
pool used by threaded resolver.

resize the thread pool used.

Add `CURLMOPT_QUICK_EXIT` to allow applications to skip thread
joins when cleaning up a multi handle. Multi handles in
`curl_easy_perform()` inherit this from `CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT`.

build: stop overriding standard memory allocation functions
Before this patch curl used the C preprocessor to override standard
memory allocation symbols: malloc, calloc, strdup, realloc, free.
The goal of these is to replace them with curl's debug wrappers in
`CURLDEBUG` builds, another was to replace them with the wrappers
calling user-defined allocators in libcurl. This solution needed a bunch
of workarounds to avoid breaking external headers: it relied on include
order to do the overriding last. For "unity" builds it needed to reset
overrides before external includes. Also in test apps, which are always
built as single source files. It also needed the `(symbol)` trick
to avoid overrides in some places. This would still not fix cases where
the standard symbols were macros. It was also fragile and difficult
to figure out which was the actual function behind an alloc or free call
in a specific piece of code. This in turn caused bugs where the wrong
allocator was accidentally called.

To avoid these problems, this patch replaces this solution with
`curlx_`-prefixed allocator macros, and mapping them _once_ to either
the libcurl wrappers, the debug wrappers or the standard ones, matching
the rest of the code in libtests.

This concludes the long journey to avoid redefining standard functions
in the curl codebase.

Note: I did not update `packages/OS400/*.c` sources. They did not
`#include` `curl_setup.h`, `curl_memory.h` or `memdebug.h`, meaning
the overrides were never applied to them. This may or may not have been
correct. For now I suppressed the direct use of standard allocators
via a local `.checksrc`. Probably they (except for `curlcl.c`) should be
updated to include `curl_setup.h` and use the `curlx_` macros.

This patch changes mappings in two places:
- `lib/curl_threads.c` in libtests: Before this patch it mapped to
  libcurl allocators. After, it maps to standard allocators, like
  the rest of libtests code.
- `units`: before this patch it mapped to standard allocators. After, it
  maps to libcurl allocators.

Also:
- drop all position-dependent `curl_memory.h` and `memdebug.h` includes,
  and delete the now unnecessary headers.
- rename `Curl_tcsdup` macro to `curlx_tcsdup` and define like the other
  allocators.
- map `curlx_strdup()` to `_strdup()` on Windows (was: `strdup()`).
  To fix warnings silenced via `_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE`.
- multibyte: map `curlx_convert_*()` to `_strdup()` on Windows
  (was: `strdup()`).
- src: do not reuse the `strdup` name for the local replacement.
- lib509: call `_strdup()` on Windows (was: `strdup()`).
- test1132: delete test obsoleted by this patch.
- CHECKSRC.md: update text for `SNPRINTF`.
- checksrc: ban standard allocator symbols.

lib: rename internal header share.h to curl_share.h to avoid collision
Windows CRTs have a `share.h`. Before this patch when trying to
`#include <share.h>` it, the compiler picked up curl's internal
`lib/share.h` instead. Rename it to avoid this issue.

CRT `share.h` has constants necessary for using safe open CRT functions.

Also rename `lib/share.c` to keep matching the header.

connection: clarify transport
The `transport` to use for a transfer, e.g. TCP/QUIC/UNIX/UDP, is
initially selected by options and protocol used. This is set at the
`struct connectdata` as `transport` member.

During connection establishment, this transport may change due to
Alt-Svc or Happy-Eyeballing. Most common is the switch from TCP to QUIC.

Rename the connection member to `transport_wanted` and add a way to
query the connection for the transport in use via a new connection
filter query.

The filter query can also be used in the happy eyeballing attempts when
code needs to know which transport is used by the "filter below". This
happens in wolfssl initialization, as one example.

asyn resolver code improvements
"asyn" is the internal name under which both c-ares and threaded
resolver operate. Make the naming more consistent. Implement the c-ares
resolver in `asyn-ares.*` and the threaded resolver in `asyn-thrdd.*`.
The common functions are in `asyn-base.c`.

When `CURLRES_ASYNCH` is defined, either of the two is used and
`data->state.async` exists. Members of that struct vary for the selected
implementation, but have the fields `hostname`, `port` and `ip_version`
always present. This are populated when the async resolving starts and
eliminate the need to pass them again when checking on the status and
processing the results of the resolving.

Add a `Curl_resolv_blocking()` to `hostip.h` that relieves FTP and SOCKS
from having to repeat the same code.

`Curl_resolv_check()` remains the function to check for status of
ongoing resolving. Now it also performs internally the check if the
needed DNS entry exists in the dnscache and if so, aborts the asnyc
operation. (libcurl right now does not check for duplicate resolve
attempts. an area for future improvements).

The number of functions in `asyn.h` has been reduced. There were subtle
difference in "cancel()" and "kill()" calls, both replaced by
`Curl_async_shutdown()` now. This changes behaviour for threaded
resolver insofar as the resolving thread is now always joined unless
`data->set.quick_exit` is set. Before this was only done on some code
paths. A future improvement would be a thread pool that keeps a limit
and also could handle joins more gracefully.

DoH, not previously tagged under "asny", has its struct `doh_probes` now
also in `data->state.async`, moved there from `data->req` because it
makes more sense. Further integration of DoH underneath the "asyn"
umbrella seems like a good idea.

tidy-up: process.h detection and use
This patch aims to cleanup the use of `process.h` header and the macro
`HAVE_PROCESS_H` associated with it.

- `process.h` is always available on Windows. In curl, it is required
  only for `_beginthreadex()` in `lib/curl_threads.c`.

- `process.h` is also available in MS-DOS. In curl, its only use was in
  `lib/smb.c` for `getpid()`. But `getpid()` is in fact declared by
  `unistd.h`, which is always enabled via `lib/config-dos.h`. So the
  header is not necessary.

- `HAVE_PROCESS_H` was detected by CMake, forced to 1 on Windows and
  left to real detection for other platforms.
  It was also set to always-on in `lib/config-win32.h` and
  `lib/config-dos.h`.
  In autotools builds, there was no detection and the macro was never
  set.

Based on these observations, in this patch we:

- Rework Windows `getpid` logic in `lib/smb.c` to always use the
  equivalent direct Win32 API function `GetCurrentProcessId()`, as we
  already did for Windows UWP apps. This makes `process.h` unnecessary
  here on Windows.

- Stop #including `process.h` into files where it was not necessary.
  This is everywhere, except `lib/curl_threads.c`.

  > Strangely enough, `lib/curl_threads.c` compiled fine with autotools
  > because `process.h` is also indirecty included via `unistd.h`. This
  > might have been broken in autotools MSVC builds, where the latter
  > header is missing.

- Delete all remaining `HAVE_PROCESS_H` feature guards, for they were
  unnecessary.

- Delete `HAVE_PROCESS_H` detection from CMake and predefined values
  from `lib/config-*.h` headers.

16e9c8e990 hostip: Make Curl_ipv6works function independent of getaddrinfo
- Do not assume IPv6 is not working when getaddrinfo is not present.

The check to see if IPv6 actually works is now independent of whether
there is any resolver that can potentially resolve a hostname to IPv6.

Prior to this change if getaddrinfo() was not found at compile time then
Curl_ipv6works() would be defined as a macro that returns FALSE.

When getaddrinfo is not found then libcurl is built with CURLRES_IPV4
defined instead of CURLRES_IPV6, meaning that it cannot do IPv6 lookups
in the traditional way. With this commit if libcurl is built with IPv6
support (ENABLE_IPV6) but without getaddrinfo (CURLRES_IPV6), and the
IPv6 stack is actually working, then it is possible for libcurl to
resolve IPv6 addresses by using DoH.

CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE: preventing wrong IP version from being used
In some situations, it was possible that a transfer was setup to
use an specific IP version, but due do DNS caching or connection
reuse, it ended up using a different IP version from requested.

This commit changes the effect of CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE from simply
restricting address resolution to preventing the wrong connection
type being used, when choosing a connection from the pool, and
to restricting what addresses could be used when establishing
a new connection.

It is important that all addresses versions are resolved, even if
not used in that transfer in particular, because the result is
cached, and could be useful for a different transfer with a
different CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE setting.

- This work clarifies and separates the transfers from the connections

- We should avoid "conn->data". Since individual connections can be used
  by many transfers when multiplexing, making sure that conn->data
  points to the current and correct transfer at all times is difficult
  and has been notoriously error-prone over the years. The goal is to
