- drop empty comments.
- drop line-ending `dnl` markers. (except `zz40-xc-ovr.m4` where it's
used to produce a comment in `configure`.)
- replace `dnl` line with C comment in `AC_CHECK_HEADERS()`.

Verify if lines are not longer than 192 characters. Also verify if lines
have less than 79 repeat spaces (and fix one fallout).
To improve readability by avoiding long lines and to prevent adding
overly long lines with text that may go unnoticed in an editor or diff
viewer.
In addition to pre-existing line length limits: 79 for C, 132 for CMake
sources.
Also:
- spacecheck: fix/harden allowlist regexes.
- spacecheck: tidy-up quotes and simplify escaping.
- spacecheck: allow folding strings with repeat spaces.
- GHA: fix a suppressed shellcheck warning.
- GHA/macos: simplify by dropping brew bundle.
- test1119.pl: precompile a regex.
- FAQ.md: delete very long link to a Windows 7/2008 support article
that's lost it relevance.

Extend `#pragma diagnostic push`/`pop` guards to the whole codebase
(from tests and examples only) to disable it for GCC <4.6. Rename guard
to `CURL_HAVE_DIAG` and make it include llvm/clang to be interchangeable
with `__GNUC__ || __clang__` in this context.
The above means no longer disabling certain warnings locally, so pair
this with disabling all picky warnings for GCC <4.6.
Also:
- drop global workarounds for misbehaving GCC <4.6 compiler warnings.
Not needed with picky warnings disabled.

- fix internal macro `AN_APPLE_OS` reused between sources without
resetting it. It may potentially have left the system sha256
function unused.
- fix to define `WOLFSSL_OPTIONS_IGNORE_SYS` so that it always applies

- delete 20+ unused macros.
- scope or move macros to avoid `-Wunused-macros` warnings.

The warning detects macros defined but not used within the same C
source. It does not warn for macros defined in headers. It also works
with unity builds, but to a lesser extent.

Extend two existing local suppressions to GCC, and add another
GCC-specific one as a replacement.
Before this patch suppressing this warning was odd with clang, because
after this option, `-Wformat=2` is used, which re-enables it.
Also:
- mprintf: minimize scope of a warning suppression.
- tests/server: suppress this warning for a system `vsnprintf()` call
where it could trigger in C89 builds or with
`CFLAGS=-DCURL_NO_FMT_CHECKS` set. Seen with Apple clang 17:
```

Ref: #20363Closes#20366
Drop separate `TrackMemory` (aka `CURLDEBUG`) debug feature.
After recent changes (thread-safety,
193cb00ce9, and updates leading up to
it), `TrackMemory` is unlikely to cause build or runtime issues.
To simplify builds and debug options, enable `TrackMemory`
unconditionally for debug-enabled (aka `DEBUGBUILD`) builds. Before
this patch, this was already the default, with an option to disable
it, or enable it in non-debug-enabled builds.
Note, in practice these two debug options already went hand in hand. It
was not possible to toggle them separately for a long time due to bugs,
before 59dc9f7e69 (2024-05-28) fixed it.
This patch also removes/deprecates separate knobs and feature flags for
`TrackMemory`:
- autotools: `--enable-curldebug`/`--disable-curldebug`
- cmake: `-DENABLE_CURLDEBUG=ON`/`OFF`
- C macro: `CURLDEBUG`
- libcurl: `CURL_VERSION_CURLDEBUG` symbol deprecated in favor
of `CURL_VERSION_DEBUG`. They always return the same value after this
patch.
Also:
- drop `TrackMemory` from `curl -V` output.
- rename internal `CURLDEBUG` macro to `CURL_MEMDEBUG` internally.
To avoid confusion with `DEBUGBUILD`, but to keep guarding
`TrackMemory`-related internals for readability.
- runtests: bind `TrackMemory` to debug feature. Keep it a separate
test feature requirement, for clarity.
- CI: drop test builds for combinations of the two options.
- GHA/linux: no longer disable TrackMemory in the TSAN job.

- It is slower and uses more memory than the alternatives and is only
experimental in curl.
- We disable a few tests for OpenSSL-QUIC because of flakiness
- It gets little attention from OpenSSL and we have no expectation of the
major flaws getting corrected anytime soon.
- No one has spoken up for keeping it
- curl users building with vanilla OpenSSL can still use QUIC through the
means of ngtcp2
Closes#20226
Also:
- vquic-tls.h: do not include unused headers for non-H3 builds.
- autotools: stop looking for `openssl/x509.h` header.

- examples: format/comment sync between the two touched files.
- openssl: drop unused `curlx/wait.h` include.

- acinclude.m4: drop an unnecessary x-hack.
- vtls/mbedtls: join a URL split into two lines.
- src/tool_cb_see: add parentheses around macro expressions.
- src/tool_operate: move literals to the right side of comparisons.
- libtests: sync up fopen/fstat error messages between tests.
- curl_setup.h: replace `if ! defined __LP64` with `ifndef __LP64`.
I assume it makes no difference on Tandem systems, as the latter form
is already used in `include/curl/system.h`.

Explicitly disable these warnings to allow using `-Weverything`.
There are around 600 of them across the codebase.
Silencing them has some drawbacks:
- enums (`CURLcode` mostly) would have to be cast to int to avoid
different signedness depending on C compiler.
(llvm/gcc: unsigned, MSVC/clang-cl: signed by default)
- hex masks need casts to unsigned to avoid the warning.
- fixing remaining warnings is annoying without fixing the above.
- without fixing all warnings the option cannot be enabled, to keep
the codebase warning free.

Windows CE support was limited to successful builds with ming32ce
(a toolchain that hasn't seen an update since 2009, using an ancient gcc
version and "old mingw"-style SDK headers, that curl deprecated earlier).
Builds with MSVC were broken for a long time. mingw32ce builds were never
actually tested and runtime and unlikely to work due to missing stubs.
Windows CE toolchains also miss to comply with C89. Paired with lack of
demand and support for the platform, curl deprecated it earlier.
This patch removes support from the codebase to ease maintaining Windows
codepaths.

With GnuTLS 3.8.0+ the build-time SRP feature detection always succeeds.
It's also disabled by default in these GnuTLS versions.
When using TLS-SRP without it being available in GnuTLS, report
the correct error code `CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN`, replacing the out of memory
error reported before this patch.
Also add comments to autotools and cmake scripts about this feature
detection property.
Detecting it at build-time would need to run code which doesn't work
in cross-builds. Once curl requires 3.8.0 as minimum, the build-time
checks can be deleted.
```
# before:
curl: (27) gnutls_srp_allocate_client_cred() failed: An unimplemented or disabled feature has been requested.
# after:

Make autotools and cmake detect DES support in OpenSSL and mbedTLS.
Forward feature macros to C and omit NTLM from the feature preview list.
Use the feature macros in source. This ensure that `-V` output matches
the preview.
OpenSSL doesn't support DES when built with `no-des` or `no-deprecated`.
mbedTLS 4.x no longer supports it, and it's possible to disable it in
<4 with `scripts/config.py unset MBEDTLS_DES_C`.
Before this patch this worked for
mbedTLS 4 only, and with a regression for pending PR #16973.
Also:
- drop NTLM feature check from `curl_setup.h` in favour of autotools/
cmake feature macros. This makes `curl_setup.h` no longer need
to include an mbedTLS header, which in turn makes tests/server build
without depending on mbedTLS.
Fixing, in #16973:
```
