And a few variables around.
There remain cases where the accepted pointer is const, yet the returned
pointer is written to.
Partly addressing (glibc 2.43):
```
* For ISO C23, the functions bsearch, memchr, strchr, strpbrk, strrchr,
strstr, wcschr, wcspbrk, wcsrchr, wcsstr and wmemchr that return
pointers into their input arrays now have definitions as macros that
return a pointer to a const-qualified type when the input argument is
a pointer to a const-qualified type.

Ref: #20420Closes#20421
When checking a transfer for being expired via `Curl_timeleft_ms()`,
eleminate the `bool connecting` parameter and have the function check
the `mstate` of the transfer instead.
Advantages:
* eleminate the caller needing awareness if the transfer is
connecting or in a later state
* fix pingpong timeout handling to check the correct timeout
during "proto_connect" phases
* avoid using "connecting" timeouts during establishing a secondary
connection (e.g. FTP) since this would use the timestamp from
the original, primary connect and thus be wrong

Closes#19998
Use `data->progress.now` as the timestamp of proecssing a transfer.
Update it on significant events and refrain from calling `curlx_now()`
in many places.
The problem this addresses is
a) calling curlx_now() has costs, depending on platform. Calling it
every time results in 25% increase `./runtest` duration on macOS.
b) we used to pass a `struct curltime *` around to save on calls, but
when some method directly use `curx_now()` and some use the passed
pointer, the transfer experienes non-linear time. This results in
timeline checks to report events in the wrong order.
By keeping a timestamp in the easy handle and updating it there, no
longer invoking `curlx_now()` in the "lower" methods, the transfer
can observer a steady clock progression.

Fixes#19935Closes#19961
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.

- KEEP_SEND_TIMED no longer exists. Pausing "100-continue" transfers
is done in the new `Curl_http_perform_pollset()` method.
- HTTP/2 rate limiting implemented via window updates. When
transfer initiaiting connection has a ratelimit, adjust the
initial window size
- HTTP/3 ngtcp2 rate limitin implemnented via ack updates
- HTTP/3 quiche does not seem to support this via its API
- the default progress-meter has been improved for accuracy

`getsock()` calls operated on a global limit that could
not be configure beyond 16 sockets. This is no longer adequate
with the new happy eyeballing strategy.
Instead, do the following:
- make `struct easy_pollset` dynamic. Starting with
a minimal room for two sockets, the very common case,
allow it to grow on demand.
- replace all protocol handler getsock() calls with pollsets
and a CURLcode to return failures
- add CURLcode return for all connection filter `adjust_pollset()`
callbacks, since they too can now fail.
- use appropriately in multi.c and multi_ev.c

`SSL_pending()` only checks if the *current* TLS packet has more data.
There might be more data in SSL's buffers.
`SSL_has_pending()` only checks if there is data in buffers, but does
*not* check if there is a complete TLS packet that can be decoded.
If we only check the first, we will poll on socket events without having
processed all data and may stall. If we only check the second, we would
busy loop without SSL_read() ever giving something.
Add the flag `connssl->input_pending` that is set on incoming data in
the BIO receive. Clear the flag when encountering a CURLE_AGAIN on
the filters receive (via SSL_read()) or see an EOF.

Move curlx_ functions into its own subdir.
The idea is to use the curlx_ prefix proper on these functions, and use
these same function names both in tool, lib and test suite source code.
Stop the previous special #define setup for curlx_ names.
The printf defines are now done for the library alone. Tests no longer
use the printf defines. The tool code sets its own defines. The printf
functions are not curlx, they are publicly available.
The strcase defines are not curlx_ functions and should not be used by
tool or server code.
dynbuf, warnless, base64, strparse, timeval, timediff are now proper
curlx functions.
When libcurl is built statically, the functions from the library can be
used as-is. The key is then that the functions must work as-is, without
having to be recompiled for use in tool/tests. This avoids symbol
collisions - when libcurl is built statically, we use those functions
directly when building the tool/tests. When libcurl is shared, we
build/link them separately for the tool/tests.

Further testing with timeouts in event based processing revealed that
our current shutdown handling in the connection pool was not clear
enough. Graceful shutdowns can only happen inside a multi handle and it
was confusing to track in the code which situation actually applies. It
seems better to split the shutdown handling off and have that code
always be part of a multi handle.
Add `cshutdn.[ch]` with its own struct to maintain connections being
shut down. A `cshutdn` always belongs to a multi handle and uses that
for socket/timeout monitoring.
The `cpool`, which can be part of a multi or share, either passes
connections to a `cshutdn` or terminates them with a one-time, best
effort.
Add an `admin` easy handle to each multi and share. This is used to
perform all maintenance operations where no "real" easy handle is
available. This solves the problem that the multi admin handle requires
some additional initialisation (e.g. timeout list).
The share needs its admin handle as it is often cleaned up when no other
transfer or multi handle exists any more. But we need a `data` in almost
every call.
Fix file:// handling of errors when adding a new connection to the pool.
Changes in `curl` itself:
- for parallel transfers, do not set a connection pool in the share,
rely on the multi's connection pool instead. While not a requirement
for the new `cshutdn` to work, this is
a) helpful in testing to trigger graceful shutdowns
b) a broader code coverage of libcurl via the curl tool
- on test_event with uv, cleanup the multi handle before returning from
parallel_event(). The uv struct is on the stack, cleanup of the multi
later will crash when it tries to register sockets. This is a "eat
your own dogfood" related fix.

In cases where the connection was fast, curl sometimes failed to open a
connection. This fixes a regression of c2d973627b.
The regression triggered in these steps:
1. Create an smtp connection
2. Use STARTTLS
3. Receive the response
4. We are inside the loop in `smtp_statemachine`, calling
`smtp_state_starttls_resp`
5. In the good flow, we exit the loop, re-enter `smtp_statemachine` and
run `smtp_perform_upgrade_tls` at the start of the function.
In the bad flow, we stay in the while loop, calling
`Curl_pp_readresp`, which reads part of the TLS handshake and things
go wrong.
The reason is that `Curl_pp_moredata` changed behavior and always
returns `true`, so we stay in the loop in `smtp_statemachine`. With a
slow connection `Curl_pp_readresp` cannot read new data and returns
`CURL_AGAIN`, so we leave the loop and re-enter `smtp_statemachine`.
With a fast connection, `Curl_pp_readresp` reads new data from the tcp
connection, which is part of the TLS handshake.
The fix is in `Curl_pp_moredata`, which needs to take the final line
into account and return `false` if only the final line is stored.

The method for sending not just raw bytes, but bytes that are either
"headers" or "body". The send abstraction stack, to to bottom, now is:
* `Curl_req_send()`: has parameter to indicate amount of header bytes,
buffers all data.
* `Curl_xfer_send()`: knows on which socket index to send, returns
amount of bytes sent.
* `Curl_conn_send()`: called with socket index, returns amount of bytes
sent.
In addition there is `Curl_req_flush()` for writing out all buffered
bytes.
`Curl_req_send()` is active for requests without body,
`Curl_buffer_send()` still being used for others. This is because the
special quirks need to be addressed in future parts:
* `expect-100` handling
* `Curl_fillreadbuffer()` needs to add directly to the new
`data->req.sendbuf`
* special body handlings, like `chunked` encodings and line end
conversions will be moved into something like a Client Reader.
In functions of the pattern `CURLcode xxx_send(..., ssize_t *written)`,
replace the `ssize_t` with a `size_t`. It makes no sense to allow for negative
values as the returned `CURLcode` already specifies error conditions. This
allows easier handling of lengths without casting.
