After this patch curl requires targeting Vista or newer, and a toolchain
with Vista support.
Supported MSVC compilers (VS2010+) all support Vista:
- VS2012+ target Win8 (or later) by default.
- VS2010 targets Win7 by default.
Supported mingw-w64 versions (v3+) all support Vista:
- mingw-w64 v9+ target Win10 by default.
- mingw-w64 v8 and older target Server 2003 (~XP) by default.
After this patch it may be necessary to override the default Windows
target version to Vista (or newer) via:
autotools: `CPPFLAGS=-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0600`
cmake: `-DCURL_TARGET_WINDOWS_VERSION=0x0600`
- mingw-w64 v6+ allow changing the default at toolchain build-time.
Notes:
- For non-MSVC, non-mingw-w64 toolchains, `if_nametoindex` needs to be
allowlisted in `curl_setup.h`, if they do support it.

- curl_range: replace `sendf.h` with direct header dependency
`curl_trc.h`.
- drop `curl/curl.h` includes from internal sourcees in favor of the
include made from `curl_setup.h`. Replace it with the latter where
it's the only include.
- include `curl_setup.h` before using macros, where missing.
- drop redundant `stdlib.h`, `string.h` includes, in favor of
`curl_setup_once.h` including them.
- drop redundant `limits.h` in favor of `curl_setup.h` including it.
- fake_addrinfo.h: fix typo in comment.
- curl_setup_once.h: drop `stdio.h` in favor of earlier include in
`curl_setup.h`.
- drop stray, unused, `stddef.h` includes.
- memdebug.h: add missing `stddef.h` include. (relying on accidental
includes via other headers before this patch.)
- stddef.h: document why it's included.
- strerr: drop `curl/mprintf.h` in favor of `curl/curl.h` including it
via `curl_setup.h`.
Closes#20027
- replace dynamic `InitSecurityInterface()` call with early binding and
link `secur32` system DLL.
The library and function are available in all supported curl Windows
targets, meaning WinXP or newer. Add small hack for mingw32ce to
make it build.
- detect and use `if_nametoindex()` on Windows when available. Link
`iphlpapi` system DLL. Requires targeting Vista or newer.
Replacing the dynamic call and the pre-load optimization for lib3026.

- For the threaded resolver backend on Windows, revert back to
exclusively use the threaded resolver with libcurl-owned threading
instead of GetAddrInfoExW with Windows-owned threading.
Winsock (the Windows sockets library) has a bug where it does not wait
for all of the name resolver threads it is managing to terminate before
returning from WSACleanup. The threads continue to run and may cause a
crash.
This commit is effectively a revert of several commits that encompass
all GetAddrInfoExW code in libcurl. A manual review of merge conflicts
was used to resolve minor changes that had modified the code for
aesthetic or build reasons in other commits.
Prior to this change if libcurl was built with the threaded resolver
backend for Windows, and Windows 8 or later was the operating system at
runtime, and the caller was not impersonating another user, then libcurl
would use GetAddrInfoExW to handle asynchronous name lookups.
GetAddrInfoExW support was added in a6bbc87f, which preceded 8.6.0, and
prior to that the threaded resolver backend used libcurl-owned threading
exclusively on Windows.

GetAddrInfoExW api.

- Use CURLX_FUNCTION_CAST to suppress a function pointer assignment
warning.
a6bbc87f added lookups of some Windows API functions and then cast them
like `*(FARPROC*)&Curl_funcname = address`. Some versions of gcc warn
about that as breaking strict-aliasing rules so this PR changes those
assignments to use CURLX_FUNCTION_CAST.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/12602
Windows compilers define `_WIN32` automatically. Windows SDK headers
or build env defines `WIN32`, or we have to take care of it. The
agreement seems to be that `_WIN32` is the preferred practice here.
Make the source code rely on that to detect we're building for Windows.
Public `curl.h` was using `WIN32`, `__WIN32__` and `CURL_WIN32` for
Windows detection, next to the official `_WIN32`. After this patch it
only uses `_WIN32` for this. Also, make it stop defining `CURL_WIN32`.
There is a slight chance these break compatibility with Windows
compilers that fail to define `_WIN32`. I'm not aware of any obsolete
or modern compiler affected, but in case there is one, one possible
solution is to define this macro manually.
grepping for `WIN32` remains useful to discover Windows-specific code.
Also:
- extend `checksrc` to ensure we're not using `WIN32` anymore.
- apply minor formatting here and there.
- delete unnecessary checks for `!MSDOS` when `_WIN32` is present.
